About this event

This exhibition presents a new installation, White, made by paring down more than 1,000 hemp-cloth reference materials to their essentials. The 2021 version of White used only hemp cloth of the same plain weave; this time white ramie cloth is set alongside it. Born in Kyoto Prefecture in 1948, Shinichiro Yoshida researches the fibers and threads of Edo-period ramie and hemp cloth, and received the 6th Mizuki Jugodo Prize in 2018.
