The craftsmen are working hard to make a large tub that surrounds them. Introducing a new work of the “Doraemon” Ukiyo-e series with the motif of “Tomitake 36 Scenic Bishu Fujimihara”, a masterpiece with a bold and unusual composition that captures the appearance of a small Mt. Fuji in the distance through the tub. Reservations are accepted from October 8, 2021.
The bright indigo color and the belo indigo that Hokusai liked to use are rubbed in the sky. I feel that Doraemon and Nobita are having fun while working hard to make barrels, and Mt. Fuji, which is seen in the distance, is watching over them.
Doraemon and Nobita, which blend in with Hokusai’s masterpieces, and the traditional techniques of sculptors and sushi masters drawn on Echizen handmade Japanese paper.

A part of the woodblock (hangi) used for carving and rubbing. Many woodblock prints are carved for each color, and the number of woodblock prints is rubbed over and over again to finally complete one ukiyo-e woodblock print.
It is a gem that creates an indescribable handmade texture one by one by the extremely delicate and advanced technique of the sushi master.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024).

The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
