Ambiente Day 1

Ambiente 2019 was held in Frankfurt, Germany. This year, Kyoto ZUIHODO will be awaiting your visit in Hall 4.0 D87.

We are exhibiting many different works to last year. There are some selected works such as Tancho Duru, which took around 1 year to create after the silver kettle. In Japan's unique paintings, a lot of people are staring at their feet and looking fine and beautiful.

Also this year the internationally renowned artist Georg Jensen has visited Kyoto ZUIHODO's booth. Kumo-o is absent this time, but the friendship between the metalworkers remains unchanged.

Thank you very much to the many people who visited on the first day. We are very grateful. I will continue to do my best until the 12th! Auf Wiedersehen!

Ambiente Preparation

After heading to Germany for Ambiente, I arrived in Frankfurt safely. The next day I visited the venue, and was busy preparing for the exhibition of the works.

The image of our booth has changed from last year's. This year the booth is based on grey, which not only creates a calm atmosphere but also brings to life the colours of each work so you will enjoy the place much more. You can also see a demonstration by the artist Aki Takahashi, and experience her artwork.

Kyoto ZUIHODO is aiming to convey the merits of not only silver kettles but also pottery and other works, through letting people see beyond the beauty of the works and learning the techniques behind them.

Well, I will do my best to prepare for the next day's event.

Going to Germany

Hello everyone!

This year, like last year, we will exhibit our works again at Ambiente 2019, held in Frankfurt,

Germany. As usual, our booth will be waiting for everyone to visit in Hall 4.0, D87. 

This year, we will create a different design for our booth. We hope that you will look forward to visiting it.

Also, our gallery in Kyoto will be open from 10am - 6pm as usual, except for our regular holidays on Wednesdays and Sundays. Please come in and see us if you are in Kyoto.

I will update you with more exhibition information soon. Thank you for your patience.

A Hands-on Golden Joinery Workshop at Kyoto ZUIHODO
