There is LIXIL Gallery 1 on the 2nd floor of Tokyo Tatemono Kyobashi Building LIXIL:GINZA on the opposite side of Tokyo Square Garden, Kyobashi 3-chome, next to the Police Museum.
Among LIXIL's gallery activities, "Azuregio in Macao - tiles and cobblestones born in Portugal" is currently being held as a "travel exhibition around architecture, design and its surroundings".
The event will be held until Saturday, February 20, and will be closed on Wednesday. Admission is free.
From the World Tile Museum collection, seven sets of real Azulejo made in Portugal in the 17th and 19th centuries are on display.
In addition to traditional blue painting tiles, you can see the colors of multi-colored tiles and the beauty of the patterns up close.
Macao, a former Portuguese colony, is a special administrative district of China, known as the city of World Heritage, and before the full return to China in 2049, the creation of a city that regenerates Portuguese-derived culture dating back to the Age of Discovery along with good old Chinese streets is progressing.
The symbolic existences are the "Azulejo" tiles brought from Portugal and the cobblestones called "Carsadas".
Azulejo is a decorative tile made in Portugal from around the 16th century. In addition to blue monochrome on a white background, decorative patterns and concrete patterns are drawn in many colors.
At the venue, you can see a number of vivid azulejos in photos.
