Joy of weaving for mothers and children” first edition is going to be published.

They are on sale at our gallery, too.

 

 

I had always wished to share the joy of weaving with children because I have always believed that weaving can strengthen the ties between a mother and a child and cultivate sensitivity.

From “For the reprinted version” Fukumi Shimura

To the beautiful country of water and fire

Exhibition of Two Artists, Fukumi Shimura and Yoko Shimura

We are going to present an exhibition by a mother and a daughter, Fukumi Shimura (A Living National Treasure), who breathes life into every thread, and express the changes of plant colours, and creates artistic fabric, and Yoko Shimura, who has been fascinated by making Indigo dye, and who pursues the goal to make fabric which is original and innovative, in Kumamoto. Kumamoto is a capital of water, forests, and nature, cultivated by Mt. Aso. Please visit and enjoy the expressions of weavings emerging from lights, and also enjoy the lively sensation and elaborately designed works.

Duration: From Wed, 19^th, March to Tue, 25^th, March

Venue: Tsuruya

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
