The Okura Tokyo will be holding two events on Saturday, November 11th by Shimura Yoko, the daughter of Living National Treasure Shimura Fukumi and dyeing and weaving artist and essayist, in connection with the special exhibition "From Autumn Mist to The End of the Field in Celebration of Shimura Fukumi's 21th Birthday," which will be held from Thursday, November 100st at the Okura Museum of Art adjacent to the premises.

At the special lecture to commemorate the publication of "Mirror: Yoko Shimura - Images of Dyeing and Weaving" to be held in the afternoon, the artist herself, who says that dyeing and weaving is synonymous with dyeing and weaving one's own life, and that her works are "mirrors" of her own images, will look at the works featured in her recently published book and explain what images they reflect. She will also talk about the key points to look out for in the exhibition at the Okura Museum of Art, and her involvement as a mother and teacher.

The Okura Shukokan Gallery Tour, which starts in the evening, is a one-of-a-kind gallery tour where the special exhibition, "From Autumn Mist to the End of the Field, Commemorating Shimura Fukumi's 100th Birthday," is explained by Shimura Yoko, the daughter and writer who was mentored by Living National Treasure Shimura Fukumi. Participants can choose to have lunch or dinner at Orchid in the Okura Tokyo or afternoon tea at Starlight on the 41st floor before or after the tour.

Yoko Shimura, who inherited the "Shimura no Iro" (colors of Shimura) plant-based dyes from her grandmother Yutaka Ono and mother Fukumi Shimura, and has continued to explore new worlds, will have a rare opportunity to talk directly about her own world of work and her mother Fukumi. Why not come and see for yourself?
