If what envelops us externally is our living space, what directly touches our bodies is clothing. What fills that body is food. Of all the foods we eat, water is the most important. Water, which continues to circulate in the earth, is the most important element in the center of human life.
The special exhibition "Savor water, Embracing water," organized by ISSEY MIYAKE, will make you think about this again. The exhibition is currently being held in Ginza and Kyoto.
On display here are photographs from the book "Hyakumi-nana" written by chef Noriko Yokoyama and photographer Shigeru Akimoto, both of whom are active in the pursuit of humans, water, and food.
These photographs, showing vegetables, focus on nature itself, transcending the category of cuisine. Furthermore, the aroma and sound of dashi (soup stock) and vegetables, as well as the installation of loosely woven kasuri, reminiscent of kombu (kelp), express the importance and vitality of the presence of water from multiple angles.
This is the approach of "ISSEY MIYAKE," a company that values the essence of its products. This is truly an event that could become the go-to spot for this vacation.
