Exhibition ” In Praise of Shadows ” (Ginza, 2023)

Junichiro Tanizaki’s “Inei Raisan (In Praise of Shadows)” describes how beauty brought to life by shadows and shadows is the traditional beauty of Japan. In an age when there were no electric lights, Japanese people found beauty in the shadows of their surroundings.

In the dimly lit room, which resembles an old Japanese house, an andon made of traditional Japanese Kumiko work is lit, and its soft light illuminates the delicate patterns and graceful colors of Kinkarakami and the richly scenic calligraphy of Carre MOJI, with its beautiful margins and deep calligraphic lines. When you appreciate the harmony of all these elements in the shadows and shadows, the Japanese sense of beauty may be awakened. Visitors enjoyed the world of beauty that Japan wants to hand down to the next generation.
