LIXIL Gallery is located on the north side of the Police Museum (currently under construction) on the opposite side of Tokyo Square Garden, facing Kyobashi 3-chome and Ginza Chuo-dori.

It is on the second floor of LIXIL:GINZA, which is located in the Tokyo Tatemono Kyobashi Building.

I'm surprised to see the living tools made of Japanese paper on display.

"I made such a thing with Japanese paper," he said.

Beginning with umbrellas and kimonos, handbags, Jinkasa, large tea pots, woven baskets, bowls, disturbed boxes, chick armor with festival decorations (miniature armor helmets), etc.

We are surprised to find a variety of daily necessities, including fittings, tableware, clothes, and toys, such as folding Japanese paper into Japanese umbrellas and Japanese lantern, knitting paper twists and applying persimmon astringency to make boxes and shades.

The venue is divided into "clothing", "food", "house", and "play", and each Japanese paper product is introduced, making it very easy to understand.
