On November 1st, three galleries in Ginza were specially opened on this day, so I went out with excitement.
The first thing I visited was "Yasushiyama Gallery" near Kabukiza.
A lot of works by Yasushi Kanzaki were exhibited.
It's all made by carving out from one tree.
I would like to introduce some wonderful works.
Both the bozuki and the apples are carved out of one tree, the same as the outer frame.
These candles and their hanging wax are made of a picture frame and a tree.
The second house I visited was Ginza Yanagi Gallery.
On this day, a lot of works by artist Tatsuhiko Shimamura were exhibited.
He drew softly based on "white table and petrag" and white.
Please enjoy the soft atmosphere with the whole picture.
The third house is "Gallery Hayashi".
The "Primary and Portrait Exhibition" was being held, and it was a collaboration between portraits by photographer Hidemi Shinoda and picture frames created by classical techniques by picture frame writer Haruko Ishii.
I photographed the atmosphere at the entrance and watched it slowly inside. I felt that good photos and good picture frames were increasing each other's value.
