KIGOTO (Seasonal Letter) products are made with high-quality washi paper and embody an aesthetic long cherished by the Japanese people, with bold designs depicting seasonal flowers and the changing of the seasons. The beauty in blank space, which is a long-standing tradition in Japanese art, and washi paper made in line with seasonal patterns are key elements of the design. From the flowers blooming across each page as they do in nature to the artistic expression evoking beautiful memories of the seasons, every aspect epitomizes the designer’s dedication. With 100 letter pad designs from the series’ history on display, immerse yourself in a majestic world that feels like a profusion of flowers.

These calendars featuring photo-realistic pictures of sushi toppings are made with traditional washi paper from the Echizen region, which has a history going back over 1,000 years.
From the unique silvery-white shine of sardines’ skin to the glistening, clear squid, the texture and freshness of the sushi is brought to life in great detail by applying techniques that effectively combine offset and silk-screen printing to hand-drawn illustrations.
With 24 items displayed on a backing evoking the image of a white plate, the exhibition’s design fully expresses the experience of savoring sushi.
