Japan is Beautiful
Written on March 25, 2012
Although we don’t need reminding that Japan is beautiful, Amy Katoh has a way of constantly renewing our appreciation of the beauty of Japan.
Rather suddenly, Amy announced that for a period of three weeks she is showing a segment of her marvelous collection of Japanese folk textiles in a still-occupied warehouse in her Tokyo neighborhood. The backdrop of the warehouse’s unfinished, dark wood interior is a dramatic and inspired foil for her beautifully chosen collection. Have a look.
If you are in Tokyo, or are visiting soon, here’s all the information you’ll need to make a visit and see this fleeting exhibition for yourself:
Thank you, Amy. I’m so glad you did this. It’s beautiful.
.
you are so lucky to be there to see that!!
i don’t believe i could handle all that raw beauty in one room. i would be overcome with emotion and have to sit down to catch my breath. those pictures are just amazing!!!

thank you for giving us a tour – the setting is perfect. I arrive in Tokyo 2 days after the show closes – but plan to see “Blue and White”.

The eye of a collector.
An old soul ( Japanese she must have been in a previous life.)
Storing and displaying the genius of Japan, for us all to witness.
We thank you, Amy.
