Japanese Painting Workshop


★Announcement: Japanese Painting Workshop★

【Paint Made from Crushed Gems】

We’ll grind raw azurite (blue copper ore) stones—the source of Japanese painting’s signature blue—to create mineral pigments.

Use this handmade paint to create a mini painting celebrating the New Year.

Experience the shimmer and vibrant beauty of mineral pigments firsthand.

We will provide designs featuring next year’s zodiac animal, the Horse, and auspicious motifs. Even beginners can enjoy Japanese painting with a coloring-book feel.

　　Date: Sunday, November 23, 2025
　　　　　10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

　　Location: Komaya Merchant House, Annex Room
(21 Shinbashicho, Futagacho, Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, JAPAN)

　　Participation Fee: ¥4,800 (includes materials)

Capacity: 10 participants

All necessary art supplies, including brushes and paint palettes, will be provided.

Please register with Komaya Merchant House:

We look forward to your participation!

Solo exhibition


Announcing a Solo Exhibition

Nobuyo Sakakibara Solo Exhibition
【Blooming of the Universe】

We are honored to hold this exhibition at Komaya, a merchant in Futagawa.
This Edo-period structure, designated a Tangible Cultural Property of Toyohashi City,
stands in Futagawa, a former post town along the Tokaido Road’s Fifty-Three Stations,
where you can feel the breath of history.
Don’t miss the unique resonance and fusion with Nobuyo’s art, unlike anything seen in museums.

We’d be delighted if nearby residents, and even those on a mini-trip, would stop by.

Please enjoy wandering through the artworks displayed throughout the building.
