Keisuke Serizawa
One of the most well-known works of the dyer and craftsman Keisuke Serizawa is "katazome calendars." In 1945, just after the war and having lost his home in air raids, Serizawa began creating katazome calendars on Japanese paper at the Japan Folk Crafts Museum where he was staying. Initially, around 100 calendars were produced in 1946 (Showa 21), but soon they gained popularity, and eventually over 10,000 sets (120,000 sheets) were distributed both domestically and internationally. These calendars, filled with overflowing patterns and innovative ideas, continued to be produced for 39 years until 1984. Even after Serizawa's passing, reprints have been ongoing, and they have been cherished by many people without interruption for 79 years until this year. This exhibition looks back on his journey and charm through approximately 240 calendars spanning about 20 years.
