At this time, the "Soap & Fruit Carving Exhibition" is held every year at Gallery Ginza 2-chome in Ginza.

I introduced it in this blog before.

Soap & Fruit Carving is a traditional craft of the Kingdom of Thailand with a history of more than 700 years, and literally engraves fruits such as soaps, watermelons, and melons.

At the venue, the works of teachers of the carving class, atelier Be Free and the students of the classroom are displayed.

When you enter the venue, it smells like soap.

I'm sorry I can't tell you.

I don't think it's a very soap

This year, works that express Katori Fugetsu and works that emphasize 3D are conspicuous.

Do you believe these are also soaps?

I am overwhelmed by the exhibition of carving works of fruits such as watermelons and melons carved all at once the day before the event, but I heard that the holding period is limited to three days due to the shelf life of the fruit.

In addition, we received special consent from the teacher regarding photography at the venue.

Thank you very much
