WHAT’S ON

COMING SOON

 

“MIKIKO’S FLOWER GARDEN”

Yamanashi Hemslöjd’s 55th Anniversary exhibition

29 September (Tues) – 28 October (Weds), 2026
Opening hours 11:00 – 17:00
Closed on Sundays, open on public holidays.

Exhibition contents: Embroidery, weaving, knitting; original works by participants; works by instructors since the founding of the organisation.

The 50th-anniversary exhibition, held during the COVID-19 pandemic, has now become a cherished memory, and this time the theme, “Flower Garden,” was decided early on. The exhibition will feature decorative works for windows, walls, and chairs, created using a variety of techniques to beautifully enhance everyday life.

Being able to hold a commemorative exhibition with flowers as the motif for our 55th anniversary can be seen as the realization of an eternal dream in a world where wars continue to rage in many places. It is also amazing that nearly 70 of our colleagues have become engrossed in creating original works again after a five-year hiatus, and it has been a great source of strength and encouragement for me. It can also be described as a quiet, peaceful time to dedicate ourselves to our craft.

This commemorative exhibition in Omotesando is the first in 15 years. We hope you will enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time here. We look forward to seeing you and hope you will come and enjoy the exhibition.

Greetings from Mikiko Yamanashi

We will be introducing simple and charming needlepoint designs that are highly recommended not only for embroidery enthusiasts but also for knitters who have leftover yarn lying around.
