I would like to introduce two of the exhibitions being held at LIXIL Gallery in Kyobashi.
One is the repair of the Fujiya Hotel.
Fujiya Hotel, a landmark in Hakone. Classic hotels, which celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2018, are well known for their many fans who want to stay again once. This time, "Hakone has a corporate culture that can be covered by everything in-house since its establishment. In the past, there were car companies and ranches, and not only laundry but also daily printed materials on their own.
The times have often changed in the wave of efficiency in circulation, but it is still the repair and repair of Fujiya Hotel's architecture and furniture and fixtures, as described in the pamphlet. It is a slightly different exhibition focusing on the work of the hotel's "repair" job.
First of all, the guest room "Hana Goten's Room Key", which is about 20x10cm. All the information cards in the hotel are also on display of the printing type used at that time, from the work of "Maintenance" to the menu card.
The other is the 18th edition of the “Future of Creation” series, “What is“ Kogei ”?...It's an exhibition.
Twelve works of ceramics, dyeing and weaving, metalwork, bamboo work, and kirikin by 12 contemporary craft artists, including two important cultural property holders (living national treasures), are exhibited. According to the supervisor Ryohei Miyata, "If we can ask what art is from the ground up by bringing together works with transmission power that make use of various materials and techniques....」
What a good day! I was surrounded by works and took up a luxurious time alone. We have received permission to post photos, so please enjoy the photos first, and then take a look at the venue.
