We will have an opening reception for The SHOKUNIN Collection on Thursday, November 7, from 7pm to 9pm. Sake Discoveries will provide Nanbu Bijin, producer of award-winning Japanese sake, as welcome drinks from Iwate throughout the evening. The 5th generation head of Tomoe Senko, Mr. Makoto Tojo, will be making a special appearance for the event.

During the reception, we will connect the dye house with Resobox via the internet, so you will have a chance to meet the shokunin who made these beautiful products and share a moment of time together.

Attendees will also receive a special free gift, the Tomoe Senko exclusive “Three Most Famous Noodles” Tenugui!

Open to public and Free of Charge. Please send RSVP from the link below;

The SHOKUNIN Collection is a showcase for craftspeople (know as SHOKUNIN in Japanese) to introduce Japanese traditional arts and crafts to New Yorkers at Resobox, an innovative arts space in Long Island City. Tomoe Senko (Morioka, Iwate, Japan) will exhibit Tenugui (traditional Japanese hand-dyed towels) and Hikeshi Hanten (traditional Japanese firefighter uniforms) that have been wore during Morioka Hachiman Shrune Matsuri (Fall Festival), which has been celebrated for more than 300 years.
