【Ginza Yodoya Bookstore】 We will convey the appeal of the new Japanese paper. “Japanese Paper and Life Exhibition” from July 20 (Sat)

Ginza Ashiya Bookstore (Tokyo, Chuo-ku, GINZA SIX 6F) GINZA ATRIUM will hold “Wagami and life exhibition” to introduce the appeal of modern Japanese paper from 7/20 (Sat) to 8/1 (Thu) I will.

Exhibition content

In Japan, Japanese paper was essential for living. Japanese paper has been used as a letter paper, envelope, and shoji as an integral part of life. However, in modern times there is less use as necessities, and unfortunately there are very few opportunities to touch Japanese paper. Even so, however, there are many craftsmen taking on new challenges, considering the value of Japanese paper to be incorporated into today's lives.

In this exhibition, we will carefully select and introduce the eight brands launched by artists who are making works using Japanese paper, and all the craftsmen who are taking on such new challenges.
At the exhibition, we will develop a life scene incorporating new washi under themes such as “Wahi and stationery”, “Wahi and Wa umbrella”, and “Wahi and art” and deliver it to all of you.

We will also exhibit and sell large format washi paper with a total length of 2.5 meters, which will be unveiled for the first time this time. In addition, we are planning to develop a large number of items that can be worn in business card cases, earrings, etc. and used in everyday life.

Ginza Yodoya Bookstore connects art and Japanese culture and living through books, and proposes "living with art". We hope that this exhibition will be an opportunity for many people to experience the new world of Japanese traditional craft, Washi.
