June 4-14: 'No-Glue Mounting Craft' Exhibition at Paramita Museum

The Paramita Museum in Komono, Mie Prefecture, will host the 'Hobby Mounting Exhibition: No-Glue Mounting Craft' starting June 4, 2026. This exhibition introduces the world of hanging scrolls (kakejiku) adapted for modern lifestyles, utilizing a technique developed in the 1970s that uses adhesive sheets instead of traditional paste.

A key feature of 'No-Glue Mounting Craft' is its versatility; it allows for the use of everyday materials such as handkerchiefs and tenugui towels, in addition to traditional Japanese paper and vintage fabrics. The venue will showcase approximately 80 creative works by instructor Shigeko Inoue and her students. These pieces are designed not just for traditional alcoves (tokonoma), but as interior decor for modern living rooms and entrances, aiming to pass down this tradition to the next generation.
