japan x beauty

友人の紹介により、彼女の妹さんも関わった展覧会に行って来ました。日本の伝統工芸である漆を用いた作品の数々にとても感動しました。こういう美術品と触れあえたのは随分久しぶりでした。
I have visited an exhibition that my friend's sister had got involved. It is used "urushi (japan)". It is a traditional material of our country. I was attracted by all of those products. They were all great. I haven't had any chance to see such beautiful things for a long while.

会場は、当然ながら撮影禁止なので、写真はオフィシャルサイトから借用しました。
The photo above is from their official web site since taking photos were prohibited.
