The Beauty of Japanese Temari Craft: Kanazawa Handicraft Exhibition at Shiinoki Guest House

Step into the Shiinoki Guest House, Ishikawa Prefectural Government Memorial Hall in Kanazawa, and you’ll find yourself amidst the 49th "Temari Exhibition" with the theme "Mutual Resonance." The exhibition showcases exquisite "temari" balls crafted by artisans from across Japan, using colorful threads and traditional Japanese fabrics. Centered around the concept of "resonance between fabric and thread," these creations embody a graceful beauty interwoven with time and memory. Temari (てまり) originated as handmade toys for noblewomen in ancient Japan, but have since evolved into highly artistic traditional crafts. Each ball features intricate patterns of interlacing threads and layered colors, representing the emotions and craftsmanship of the maker. The exhibition space exudes a serene and gentle atmosphere, with temari balls suspended like stars, inviting visitors to pause and admire. An afternoon stroll to this exhibition is highly recommended. After viewing the display, you can relax in the guest house’s garden or enjoy a drink at the on-site café. This exhibition is not only a visual feast but also a wonderful opportunity to experience the vitality of traditional craftsmanship. 📍Location: Shiinoki Guest House, Ishikawa Prefectural Government Memorial Hall (2-1-1 Hirooka, Kanazawa City) 📅 Exhibition Period: Every spring (please check the official website for details) 🎟️ Admission: Free
