“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

Maria Falk – “When the sensitivity of nature touches my heart”

Exhibition 20 – 26 November, 2026
Opening hours  11:00- 17:00

An inner journey to outer visibility…

“The sensitivity of nature touches my heart; my heart vibrates with the fragility of the leaves in the wind. To follow a leaf from birth, through Karin Boye’s poem, “It hurts when buds burst”. The colour changes, the leaf becomes more fragile from nature’s shifts to become part of the whole after a while. To move this sensitivity through pressure on the textile material is an inner process, a sensitivity that expresses itself through me.”

17:30 door open, 18:00 -20:00

Maria’s presentation about work + tango dance + socialisation
