Doraemon Ukiyo-e series new work Tomitake 36 views “Oshu Fujimihara” limited reservation sale start

2021.10.18

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.

Ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai is a masterpiece since he was over 70 years old

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.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
