Yumeji Takehisa's Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store
Yumeji Takehisa is a painter who symbolizes Taisho romance, whose delicate depiction is also called Japan's Rotrek.
In 1914, 106 years ago, Yumeji opened an Ezoushi store in the former Nihonbashi Ward.
It was a small shop with a frontage of 2 (about 3.6m) selling his own works such as furoshiki, prints, postcards, parasols, and yukata, but it seems to have prospered more than expected. It was an event that had a great significance in the history of commercial art in Japan that the artist himself set up a store that commercializes and sells works.
There is a monument to Minatoya at 1-2-1 Yaesu, next to Nihombashi Subway Station. The monument is fitted with a poster of "Minatoya" as a ceramic plate, and the lyrics of "Yoimachikusa" written by him are engraved next to it.
About 100 years later, "Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store"
You can see "Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store" (2-18-5 Nihonbashihama-cho Fujimitsu Building) diagonally in front of Meijiza.
There is a small shop with a frontage of about 2, the same as the beginning. The inside is full of the scent of Taisho romance.
The store opened 26 years ago in 1994. It seems that Yumeji goods are introduced at Yumeji Exhibition held at department stores nationwide. The store will kindly explain it, so why don't Yumeji fans come out once?
