Washi paper and Japanese aesthetic Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Sano Art Museum and the 85th Anniversary of the City of Mishima
Kawanabe Kyosai, Chiyogami "Chrysanthemums", woodblock multicolor print
Founded in 1806, Haibara is a long‑established washi specialty store.
This exhibition presents the timeless appeal of Haibara’s washi items—chiyogami, uchiwa‑e, envelopes, letter paper, pochibukuro, and more—created through the refined designs of artists such as Shibata Zeshin, Kawanabe Kyōsai, and Takehisa Yumeji, together with traditional woodblock printing techniques that have been passed down for generations.
These works continue to feel fresh and captivating, embodying both the elegance of Japanese design and the enduring craftsmanship that defines Haibara.
In addition, watercolors that were painted for Haibara through his relationship with Kawase Hasui will be on public display for the first time at this exhibition.
Enjoy it along with many of Hasui's famous fans.
