伊万里―その伝統と美―が開催されます

Imari: Its Tradition and Beauty will be held.

Hello everyone, how are you doing? An Imari exhibition will be held at the FAN Museum in Honami, Bizen City, starting July 25th. This special exhibition features a diverse collection of works from various production regions and eras, including Old Imari, Ko-Kutani, Matsugaya, and Kinrande. In addition to the Imari pieces, works by modern-day Living National Treasures are also on display, making it a compelling exhibition that feels like a "theme park of beauty"—a signature of the FAN Museum. We are distributing invitation tickets that include a discount, so please feel free to ask us for one. I also visited the FAN Museum the other day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere; it felt like an art village in a resort area. From the parking lot, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Katakami Bay, which was beloved by Kei and Yu Fujiwara. Kei Fujiwara left behind many paintings and calligraphic works, and he painted this bay in particular quite often. This is the Kei Fujiwara Memorial Museum, where numerous Bizen pottery works are displayed, primarily those by Kei Fujiwara. Each building, such as the Main Hall and the L-Wing, features different exhibition themes, allowing you to enjoy a "museum tour" all on one site. Also, if you get tired of walking, it is a lovely touch that you can enjoy a complimentary bowl of matcha served in one of Kei Fujiwara’s tea bowls in the room overlooking Katakami Bay in the Main Hall. When you visit, please turn at the traffic light in front of the Kei Fujiwara Memorial Museum on National Route 250 and head up the hill. Look for the blue FAN Museum sign as your landmark. Free parking is available on the left after you go up the hill with the blue sign. It is a wonderful museum where you can enjoy unique exhibitions and plenty of hospitality, so please be sure to stop by if you are in Bizen City.   *The FAN Museum is currently closed due to various circumstances. It is scheduled to reopen on June 1st with an extended run for the Imari exhibition.
