This special exhibition will feature old silk cloths, cloth wrappers, sukiya-style pouches, and kaishi cases made from textiles by dyeing and weaving artists Fukumi Shimura and Yoko Shimura.

Fukumi Shimura talks about "Evening Prayer: Reading Rilke"

"I can feel, I can" Rilke, "Poems of the Hours"
The origins of "Evening Prayer" lie in the Rilke reading notes that Shimura Fukumi began writing in her 70s. Encouraged by the words, "I feel, I can," Fukumi continued to read Rilke. What resonated with her and what did she learn from Rilke? In this study group, we hope to unravel Fukumi's words and consider how they relate to our own inner selves.
