Elsa Schiaparelli’s 1938 ‘Circus’ collection was a riot of inventive details from novelty buttons to exquisite embroidery. This layered gown is printed in painterly motifs evocative of the theme, a floating dream of story telling in a dress. Via Iwami Art Museum.

Japanese society experienced a series of drastic changes around the turn of the 20th century, and clothing was just one among many areas that were forever impacted by Europe.

Rei Birthday Headcanons

a/n: I wrote these back in November because I have midterms this week. good luck to anyone else taking midterms/finals this week as well!

his parents were really busy with work, so he’d often spend most of his birthdays alone or with his brother

when he was with his brother, they’d go out to eat and have fun at the amusement park

needless to say, this was never his ideal birthday celebration, tho he really appreciated his brother taking the time to to do this

when his s/o came around, however, this all kinda changed

seeing as someone else was there for rei to spend time with, his brother eventually stopped taking him out on his birthdays

Rei didn’t mind it tho, it wasn’t like his brother was obliged to to such, and he knew how busy he could get

his s/o noticed a lot of his tendencies, and wanted to celebrate his birthday ideally

with that, you started out his birthday with giving him a nice breakfast, something to his liking

once y’all were ready, you drove him to the iwami art museum

spent most of the day at the museum rambling about the history of some the artwork he liked and u just enjoyed hearing it

once u guys got a little hungry, yall went to a small cafe near the museum

totally didn't take aesthetic pics of urs and his food lmaoaoaoao

after eating, you also took him to the library where he met asahi lololol

not just any library either, im talking one of the central libraries that are usually a lot bigger and have more books

he stared in awe at the many books he could read and absorb knowledge from i srsly wanna do this now

you spent a good portion of the afternoon and evening there, and left as soon as the library closed for the night

for ur final destination, you took him to a fancy restaurant

had some classy spaghetti with him ig y’all know where that’s going

to end off the night, you both went home and stared at the stars from your bedroom window until you fell asleep

New Post has been published on https://hisour.com/tour/iwami-art-museum-masuda-shi-japan/

Iwami Art Museum, Masuda-shi, Japan

Iwami Art Museum (島根県立石見美術館) opened in Masuda, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, in 2005. Together with Iwami Arts Theatre (島根県立いわみ芸術劇場) it forms part of the Shimane Arts Centre (島根県芸術文化センター), also known as Grand Toit (グラントワ), the French for "large roof". The collection includes works by Kanō Shōei (狩野松栄), Unkoku Tōgan, Kuroda Seiki, Fujishima Takeji, Okada Saburōsuke, and Kishida Ryūsei. The Shimane Arts Center is a facility that combines the Shimane Prefecture Iwami Art Museum and the Shimane Prefecture Iwami Arts Theater. This facility, as a point of convergence for arts and culture in the Iwami area, facilitates reciprocation between fields such as the visual arts, music, and theater, and sponsors opportunities to appreciate diverse, high quality arts and culture. The museum collects a wide range of outstanding works of art from Japan and Overseas, regardless of region, theme, or age. The museum carries out research investigation in the areas of art work collection, preservation, exhibition, as well as the promotion of art education. The museum provides activities that promote education, such as lectures and workshops that deepen people's understandings about art. In addition, while supporting arts and culture indigenous to the Iwami region, it also aims to cooperate with the community in creating and cultivating new art. The museum holds many special exhibitions that cover a wide range of fields. In addition, this venue provides thematic, high quality exhibits from its permanent collection. It consists of Shimane prefectural Iwami art museum and Shimane prefectural Iwami art theater, opened on October 8, 2005. The official name is "Shimane Art and Culture Center", "Grantwa" is nicknamed. The origin of "Grantwa" is French (Grand Toit) meaning a broad roof. It was chosen among 16,456 entries from across the country. It is derived from the fact that the roof of the building is made of a large gable roof which used the calm red stone tile, symbolizing the scenery and climate of Iwami. Collection from Iwami Art Museum Collection Policy: To collect a wide range of outstanding works of art from Japan and abroad, regardless of region, field or age, from antiques to contemporary art, including painting, crafts, sculpture, photography, clothes, etc. In order to give the museum a distinctive character, it was decided to focus on the following categories. 1.Items Connected with MORI Ogai 2.Fashion 3.Art from around Iwami The Shimane Arts Center is a nationally prominent facility that was born in response to impassioned requests of the Shimane citizens to build an establishment in the Iwami Region that serves as both a museum of art and a theater. Its nickname "Grand Toit", in its original French means "large roof". On that large roof and walls of the center have been used the Sekishu tiles that inherit the traditions and culture of the Iwami area. The characteristic red hue of these tiles shines on the stores and houses that line the street, and it is certain that they are a symbol of this area's development. As a shrine for the prefecture's arts and culture, the center endeavors to act as a place for the creation of new culture while cherishing the history and natural spirit of the region. At the same time, this center offers the opportunity for everyone to appreciate the excellent art and culture of Japan and the world. The courtyard is surrounded by the Large Hall, the Small Hall and the Art Museum. The tile (Sekishu-gawara) used for the roof and outside walls were specially created for Shimane Arts Center by the local tile industry. Also the "Masuda City Comprehensive Promotion Plan of the 4th Mr. City Development Plan" and "Masuda City Central City Revitalization Basic Plan" formulated in March 2001 that the necessity of redevelopment in the center of Masuda City was talked about in the 1970s And redevelopment is proceeding around around Masuda station front district from around November 2004. Shimane Prefectural Art and Culture Center Grantwa was built by this part, and Masuda station building EAGA was built in front of Masuda station, and the Nakajima Daiba line passing through the old city was expanded and improved. Access: One minute walk from Iwami Traffic 'Grantwa front' bus stop About 1 km from JR Masuda Station (15 min walk) Approximately 6 km from Hagi · Iwami Airport (about 15 minutes to JR Masuda station by connecting bus) The nearest bus stop is the Iwami Traffic "Grantwa front" bus stop but close to the Iwami Traffic Headquarters

Curated by Risa Hirota, the exhibition ‘Shapes and Forms: Clothes, The Body’ at Iwami Art Museum in Japan examines the echoes between the shape of a garment and the human figure, as well as the relationship between the two. It is also the first large-scale exhibition by the Berlin-based designer Asuka Hamada’s fashion label, Theriaca. This accompanying publication provides a more in-depth look at the designer’s background and influences, exploring her apparent fascination with an object’s fundamental shape, and how she uses experimental processes to “paint over” preconceptions and presumptions in an entertaining way, breaking free from the confines of the basic pattern.

Wednesday, March 14th — COSMIC WONDER FREE PRESS IN 2007 AND IN 2017

In January 2017, I interviewed Yukinori Maeda. He had asked me to write a text for the 20-year anniversary of his Cosmic Wonder project. I said yes, but I wanted to interview him to write the text. He had never accepted face-to-face interviews in the past. The only way to interview him was through email. This time he said yes so we did it by Skype, since he now lives in Miyama, a small, beautiful village in a northern part of Kyoto. My text was first shown on their website, then published in print by Cosmic Wonder Free Press when Yukinori realized an exhibition at Iwami Art Museum, “Cosmic Wonder Lightness of Light,” in the fall of 2017. The subtitle for the publication is “The silent furnace of the unknown gives birth to a new light,” which was originally written by Yukinori in an email to me. This spring, a web magazine interviewed Yurinori and I about Cosmic Wonder's publications. Yukinori explained that the exhibition was meant to look back at the first 10 years of Cosmic Wonder’s history, and this was why he made the printed matter for the show in the same style he used in the past; its design, paper, etc. I found it interesting to hear his thoughts behind the publication, since he normally does not explain what he does. He also said that he often does not realize why he is doing something when he does it, but then two or three years later, he finds out what it meant for him, which make sense.
