The huge success of the exhibition “The Beauty of Japan” in Plovdiv helped us to turn it into a traveling exhibition, so that fans of Japanese culture from Sofia and other cities can enjoy it.
The exhibition will present to the general public the colors, traditions and uniqueness of Japan through one of the most beautiful and interesting Japanese arts – kiri-e.
For fans and practitioners of kiri-e in Bulgaria, the exhibition is a real event for several reasons – this is the first exhibition with entirely colored works. “The Beauty of Japan” is also an exhibition with a record number of authors, 18 of whom are from Japan, which is happening for the first time, thanks to the help of the “Senga Art & Space” gallery in Japan. The exhibition will also be the largest to date, with over 130 works. This exhibition will also be the first traveling kiri-e exhibition in Bulgaria, and will be presented in a total of six cities in Bulgaria, and then it will be presented in Japan.
The authors from Bulgaria presenting their works at the exhibition are Yoshka Mihaylova, Ani Ivanova, Plamen Kalov, Lidiya Hristova, Marta Ilieva and Magdalena Slavcheva.
During the exhibition, a side event will be held - Sensei Mayano Onodera - owner of the gallery "Senga Art and Space", together with guests - other kiri-e authors, will present the art in an online lecture. (more information about the lecture will be published later).
On March 12 and 13 from 10:00 to 17:00, workshops will be held, both for complete beginners, and a workshop on color kiri-e for those who have already touched the art.
The exhibition will be visited in compliance with all epidemiological measures currently in force.
The event is part of the First Spring Days of Japanese Culture in Bulgaria and is supported by the Embassy of Japan in Bulgaria, EU JAPAN FEST and the Regional History Museum Sofia.
