Recreating the beauty that connects to the future, holding a fair that conveys the world of “Benrido” at the Nara Tsutaya store

2021.05.20

A convenience hall based in Kyoto that contributes to the protection of cultural heritage and art works such as national treasure Choju-jingai, and has been actively co-producing with domestic and foreign artists in recent years. We will hold a fair to convey the world at Nara Tsutaya Bookstore.

Photograph printing technique "Collotype" invented in France

Collotype, a technology rare in the world, is characterized by its excellent reproducibility, smooth and deep texture, and strong durability due to the use of pigments, and is used for the reproduction of cultural properties such as national treasures.

We are particular about faithfully reproducing the colors of each piece of work, and since each piece is carefully hand-finished, we call “picture postcards” “art postcards.”

At this fair, in addition to collotype products, we have a large number of goods that will make you more familiar with art.
In the first half, we will prepare goods related to “The Fun World of Birds and Beasts Caricature”, and in the second half, we will prepare “Hokusai and Ukiyo-e” goods commemorating the movie hokusai released on May 28 (jointly planned with PLUMERIA JAPAN Co., Ltd.).

[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.
