2017 is another three days, it's a frightening time, but the entrance to the "Kusano Shizuka Exhibition", which started yesterday, is amazing people and people. It's completely out of expectation that you will be able to see it slowly at this end of the year, but I'm glad to be one of the fans. As a Japanese embroidery artist, Shizuka Kusano is actively involved in the spread of Japanese embroidery not only through solo exhibitions in Japan but also overseas through exhibitions and workshops. In this exhibition, when I borrowed the words of the person himself, "I tried to express the patterns expressed by Japanese people by embroidery. Starting with the embroidery Buddha, embroidery as a clothing culture, and embroidery as today's art are exhibited with about 200 works. "
What is eye-catching at the venue is Ecaterina with the theme of "wearing in the heart", kimono for 13 women who have a history of Marie Antoinette, Yodo-kun, Masako Hojo, Murasaki Shikibu, etc. It is certainly a work that makes you feel like this. What I was interested in was "110 traditional Japanese patterns". An ancient Japanese pattern is "made using Japanese embroidery techniques. Some of them are well known, such as Aominami, Kikuhanabishi, and Sayagata, but there are many things that do not study and do not match the name and pattern, such as basket eyes, cloud dragons, and one scale.
There are many things that you can only see in printed matter, so when you see all 110 items are manufactured and displayed using embroidery techniques, you are amazed at the fashionable design and color. The pattern itself has been around for more than 1000 years, but it still seems really amazing to give such a fresh impression even now.
As a special exhibition, "Holiday / New Year Ginza's" Wa " Tour Map" is being held at Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome shops at the same time as the exhibition. You can enjoy benefits at the store with the ticket stub of the exhibition (maps will be distributed at the venue)
This exhibition is perfect for thinking about Japanese culture in the New Year.
