Nihonbashi Kabutocho in Tokyo is known as a financial district. Normally frequented by bankers in crisp suits, the town has developed a unique culture with the opening of elegant hotels, restaurants, and wine stores.
Cultural Waves," a migratory art-centered exhibition, is currently being held on such land.
In this first installment, the company established the "Essential Silent Auction®" as a mechanism for rethinking the value of things.Essential Storeand collects designs from the Edo, Meiji, and Showa periods.Japan Design MuseumThe members of the "Mere Old Man" teamed up to launch the "Mere Old Man.Sea of CultureInvited the "The Sea Area 1. Sea Area 1," an exhibition of unknown cultural heritage.
The true value of the exhibits, which are of great cultural and documentary value, can be clearly understood by viewing them in person. The modern sensibilities of the Japanese people who lived in the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods are completely different from those of our modern age, and are full of new discoveries. There is a stoicism and humor in their expression, and there is also beauty created by the thoughts and feelings of others. The respect for the culture of the people living at that time is clearly engraved in these works.
In this exhibition, selected items collected by the researchers of "Bunkakkai" including works by Yukio Kusama and Kyoko Kumai, Japan's leading artists of fiber art and fiber-based sculpture, which have been globally popular since the 1970s, will be sold through the "Essential Silent Auction®" in a bidding format. The items are also available for sale through the "Essential Silent Auction®".
On Saturday, January 25, Yasushi Utsunomiya, one of the developers of "Nihon Acoustics / Half One," which controls the acoustics of the exhibition hall, will give a demonstration and commentary.
