Fukumi Shimura Exhibition

11:00am ～ 18:00pm (Open everyday)

At Aso Bijutsu ( Aso Art )

Hinagata ( Hina Dolls’ exhibition )

It seems that Hinagata ( Hina Doll shaped cutouts )  originates from　‘Katashiro’, cutouts shaped like human bodies used in incantations in ancient times.

Hinagata represents ‘ small items’ , ‘ cute little things ’and they have been loved by many people.

The form, ‘ Hinagata ’is the most Japanese-like representation which has been refined by the long history, tradition, and time.

I have come to think about expressing myself by placing clothes in molds.

I am sincerely　looking forward to your visits.

Fukumi Shimura

 Colour calendar of Kyoto – Fukumi Shimura’s 90^th birthday anniversary exhibition-

 

I have received this opportunity to have an exhibition of my works in Asakusa which possesses the rich fragrance of Edo culture.

I had been deeply longing to enjoy the atmosphere of Asakusa once, but I had not had the opportunity until today. I am so happy that I am unexpectedly given this opportunity to have close contact with this culture of chicness. In every season I have received immeasurable benefits from plants by their colours and I have made kimonos to express a part of this benefit as a colour calendar.

I would be delightful if I could convey the taste from Sagano, Kyoto in some way.

I am looking forward to your visits.

On a fine day, February, Fukumi Shimura
