Join us for an evening celebration of Japanese craft in light and sound. Co-organized by the Museum of International Folk Art and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, come experience an illuminated installation of traditional Japanese umbrellas, or wagasa 和傘, accompanied by the sounds of Masahiro Kamei playing the shamisen (三味線), a traditional Japanese three string instrument similar to a guitar or banjo that is thought to have begun in Japan in the mid-16th century. Set within the artfully designed grounds of the Garden, this multi-sensory event on Museum Hill will transport you to another time and place.
While we have been diligently preparing, circumstances beyond our control have unfortunately forced us to postpone the event to July 15th. All current ticket holders have been contacted and are being offered a full refund. If you did not receive that email please contact [email protected].
We wholeheartedly apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope you will still be able to join us for this very special evening celebrating the enchanting arts of Japan. These colorfully created works by the members of the craft collective Hiyoshiya are the epitome of refined beauty and elegance behind the centuries-old craft that combines elements of bamboo forms, handmade paper, and vibrant natural pigments.
This event was made possible through the generous support of lead donors Maria and Edward Gale, The Gale Family Foundation, with additional support from David Tausig Frank and Kazukuni Sugiyama, and TOKo Santa Fe.
Handcrafted umbrellas from the installation will be available for purchase in the Lynn Godfrey Shop at the Museum of International Folk Art (MOIFA) beginning on Monday, July 17.
