’Liaison’ three-person exhibition

Many visitors have been enjoying the Liaison three-person exhibition at Kyoto Zuihodo’s gallery this month, showcasing the work of three master craftspeople.

This work was previously shown at Hotel Kanra in Kyoto in March and at the Kogei art fair in Kanazawa last November.

These new creative works have given the gallery a new energy and a fresh atmosphere.

Please take the opportunity to look at this work if you can.

As the gallery was originally a Nishijin textile weaving shop, we can display the work in a beautiful spacious area with a high ceiling.

There are also days when the artists will be present too, so please take a moment to meet them if you can.

If you have any questions about the Liason 3nin exhibition, please contact the Kyoto Zuihodo gallery.

Liaison three-person exhibition at Kyoto ZUIHODO

At last year’s Kogei art fair in Kanazawa, three artists worked together in one exhibition. Aki Takahashi and Miki Kato who design and create pottery, as well as Ai Shimizu, who makes lacquerware, are now showcasing their work at Kyoto Zuihodo as part of a three-person exhibition.

The seed of an idea was planted for these three female artists, all from the same generation, to make beautiful pieces together. This exhibition is the result of numerous plans and discussions. Please visit us and enjoy this exhibition.

From 29^th March until 14^th April 2019

Opening hours: 10:00am until 18:00pm

Holiday day (exhibition closed): Wednesdays (The gallery is usually closed on Sundays but will be open on Sundays during this exhibition)
