SHARE
Approximately 50 pieces from our collection of Ryukyu bingata and weaving textiles are exceptionally fine works purchased by Ryoichi Mizutani, collaborator in the Mingei Movement, from Goeku Chosho upon Yanagi’s recommendation. Goeku Chosho, who supported Yanagi’s activities in Okinawa, was the 15th head of the Goeku Palace, a branch of the royal family of the Shō clan which ruled the Ryukyu Kingdom. While the specific works obtained from Prince Goeku remained unknown until now, this exhibition will mainly showcase these pieces with artworks connected to the Shō family together.
