"Beauty and Heart of Use folk art Exhibition" and "Samiro Yunoki and Friends"

 At the special venue on the 8th floor of the main building, Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C. The folk art Exhibition (Exhibition and Sale) will be held until the 18th (Mon./holiday), and Samiro Yunoki and Friends will be held in the 8th floor hall of the main building until the 25th.

 At the age of 100, Samiro Yunoki still creates works that capture men and women of all ages's heart as an active dyer. He was influenced by the founder of the Japan Folk Art Museum, Soetsu Yanagi, Shoji Hamada, Kanjiro Kawai, Bernard Reach, and Keisuke Serizawa, who promoted the early folk art movement, and participated in the folk art movement and worked hard.

 Yunoki and his friends' works, which are full of thoughts for consumers who want to make today's life sounder and more comfortable in their feelings at any time, have the warmth of handicrafts and the joy of living every day for what they see. It gives me
