This is the catalog for the "Fukumi Shimura: Tracing the Source" exhibition held at the Ohyamazaki Villa Museum of Art in 2015. Living National Treasure Fukumi Shimura has pioneered her own path in the field of dyeing and weaving and is still active on the front lines at the age of 90. Her works, dyed with natural plant dyes and woven on a hand loom with rich colors, never fail to captivate viewers. In 2015, marking exactly 60 years since Shimura-san began her career in dyeing and weaving in 1955, this exhibition looks back on her long creative journey and traces its roots. This exhibition introduces 60 years of creation, from Shimura-san's early works from the late 1950s, which were her starting point, to her latest works, which are being shown for the first time. In addition, the exhibition features valuable dyeing and weaving works by Shimura-san's mother, Toyo Ono, and the dyeing and weaving artist Goro Aota, who instructed Ono. It also showcases masterpieces by wood lacquer artist Tatsuaki Kuroda and ceramic artist Kenkichi Tomimoto, who supported and encouraged Shimura-san's activities, allowing visitors to explore the world of Fukumi Shimura's works and their source. The works of Goro Aota on display this time are derived from the collection of Tamesaburo Yamamoto, which forms the core of the museum's collection. As we explore Shimura-san's starting point, the museum, which has the only comprehensive collection of Aota's works in Japan, has made it possible to realize this unique exhibition. This book is a softcover catalog, 17cm tall, 19cm wide, and 1cm thick. It was purchased from a used bookstore and has some minor damage to the cover and edges, but the illustrations are in good condition. In addition to Fukumi Shimura's poetic works and words, the book also includes works by those who were her starting point and supported her activities, making it a book that allows you to trace the trajectory of the artist's life. It will be shipped in a plastic bag to prevent rain damage.
