The Japanese people have a heart that naturally joins hands with the eight million gods,
In order to convey something like ``awe'' to the world,
This is an "art book" project where various artists come together and focus on the texture and appearance.
One book per year is created based on one shrine that has been blessed with blessings, using paper produced in that area (handmade Japanese paper).
We value the primordial energy that dwells in a place, and the auspicious origins and traditions that have been passed down since ancient times.
To commemorate the publication of an art book that brings together the beauty of Japan,
We have decided to hold a talk event and exhibition.
Japan Craft Book project members gathered together,
Professionals from each field will talk about their thoughts on production.
In addition to the special edition and shorin edition of ``Kamimukuro,'' we will also exhibit original paintings and works.
Please feel free to visit us.
We will exhibit paintings by Ryuo Mizuno, a talk event speaker, calligraphy by Shiei, and washi paper by Seikichi Nishida (free admission, gallery closed on Sundays).
Please feel free to visit us.
