I got off at Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, and I'm looking for it today.
I visited "Yumeji Takehisa Special Gallery Minatoya Ekusa Paper Store".
When you open the glass door, you will hear a quiet voice and say "Welcome." It's a calm and elegant voice of Kyoto language. Mr. Takako Ohira, my wife, responded.
Does the shop have a connection with Yumeji Takehisa? I asked, but my husband was a big fan of Yumeji Takehisa and started this shop.
Here in Hamacho, it has been more than 20 years since the store opened.
With permission, I photographed Yumeji's work in the store. The original color printing work is very nice. Indeed, it's a Taisho Roman.
Small items such as postcards are also sold, and it is also friendly to your wallet.
It is said that a calendar of Yumeji works is released every year.
This time, it's not Yumeji's work, but I bought "Gauze Muffler".
It is similar to the pattern of a kimono that looks like a woman in the picture is wearing. How about "Gauze Muffler" that is gentle to your skin?
The introduction of the shop can also be found in the monthly Nihonbashi, January 2017 issue, and the Free Paper Nihonbashi Goyomi April issue.
The address of the shop is 2-18-5, Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo (Meijiza-mae), telephone 03-5640-5978.
