[Atelier Shimura New Year's Greetings] Color and Words Newsletter 2026 Issue 1

We would like to extend our sincere congratulations on the New Year.
Thank you very much for your continued patronage last year. Your support has enabled us to further deepen our activities.
In 2026, we will continue to deliver the richness and new value created by the colors of plants, based on our brand concept of "Into Nature and Art."
Starting this April, we will be holding the "Ars Course" in Setagaya, Tokyo, where participants will weave a single kimono over the course of six months. We place great importance on three aspects of dialogue: nature, self, and words. We hope that this course will provide an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the world of plant colors through dyeing and weaving.
We will continue to work hard to convey the charm of plants to as many people as possible, including through gallery activities and talk events.
We sincerely hope that this year will be a prosperous one for all of you. We look forward to your continued patronage.
