Art Programs Miyako Ishiuchi “silk threaded memories”

The Bashamichi area was once home to trading houses and inspection stations involved in the raw silk trade. This industry laid the foundation for the modern era that began with the opening of the Yokohama port. Raw silk collected from the Kanto Koshinetsu region was exported to Europe and the United States. An installation spun from Miyako Ishiuchi’s “silk threaded memories” will be presented at this silk-related site.
