The "Yaesu-Bari Festival Exhibition" is currently being held at Gallery Yaesu Tokyo, an art gallery located in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.
The "Yaesu-Bari Festival Exhibition" was started in 2008 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of friendship between Japan and France, and this is the ninth year this year.
This is a special exhibition focusing on works related to Paris, regardless of denominations or affiliations.
There are masterpieces that express each Paris.
By the way, the Paris Festival is held in France on July 14th to celebrate the establishment of the French Republic (Féte nationale).
It originated in the raid of Bascheille Prison, which began in the French Revolution on the same day in 1789, and the National Foundation Day (Féte de la Fédération), which was held in 1790 to commemorate the first anniversary of the incident.
"Paris Festival" is said to be the only name in Japan, and this is because René Crail's movie Quatorze Juillet (July 14) was released and hit as the Japanese title "Bari Festival".
The Japanese title was devised by Towa Shoji President Nagamasa Kawakita and others who imported and distributed the film.
Regarding how to read, "Parisai" is common today, but Nagamasa's wife, Kashiko, says, "The feeling of the name was the Paris Festival."
"Bari Festival" and "Paris Festival" are the summer
seasonal words of many "Toshikikiki" (as mentioned above, wikipedia)

The period is from Monday, July 11 to 17 (Sun).
