Aomori Prefecture’s traditional craft “Tsugaru Vidro” has released three types of sake cups “Shukisen” in collaboration with products from Hachinohe Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., the brewer of Aomori Prefecture’s famous sake “Mutsu Hassen”.
The concept of “Mutsu Hassen ISARIBI Tokubetsu Junmai” is the image of “a fisherman’s sake during a meal”.
The shape brings out the faint sweetness in the dryness and expresses the lights of fishing boats floating on the sea at night.
*〈Umi no Akari〉=〈Sea Light〉
The uneven shape of the body allows you to enjoy the mellow aroma and taste that is characteristic of “Mutsu Hassen Pink Label Ginjo”, and the bright pink color and the yellowish green and brown colored glass like fruits give off a fragrant color.
*〈Ka no Kaze〉=〈Fruit Wind〉
The immutability of the long-selling standard sake “Mutsu Hassen Tokubetsu Junmai” is likened to an evergreen tree, and the octagonal shape that emphasizes the refreshing flavor is characterized by adding a cool blue color to the rich green color.
*〈Towa no Midori〉=〈Evergreen〉

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. 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.
