The Souvenir Wins the Heart of Foreign Tourists! Welcome to Kakejiku Shop in Japan

Tourist industry in Japan has revived dramatically since the entry restriction intended for a covid-19 measure was lifted in October 2022 and it is the influx of foreign tourists that have been serving the recovery of the figure of visitors from abroad which marked over 1.8million in March 2023.

Meanwhile, number of customers who call on us from abroad also have been increasing.


Kakejiku Store in Kobe Welcomed American Traveling Customers! – ART NOMURA
A couple of customers from the USA travelling to Japan came to the ART NOMURA to buy a hanging scroll. Thank you very much.
 

 

Michel and Monica from the U.S. are among those customers who visited us the other day looking for kakejiku.

They has been fully enjoying exploring Japan. They went cycling along Shimanami Kaidō in Hiroshima prefecture after their trip around Kagoshima and Beppu in Kyūshū region that must’ve let them discover the attractions of Japan and is something we are happy to know about.

Following their request, taking a look at our landscape kakejikus, we introduced and showed them a variety of kakejikus of this category. While observing their reactions, we pleasurably went through the shortlisting process with them.

During the course, the artwork that won the heart of the customers was a series of 4 kakejikus that are portrayal of the four seasons holding sentiments of Japan.

 

They had a long discussion over the purchase and eventually made up their mind to buy the pieces.

They seemed to absolutely love the kakejikus that made me filled with joy as one who feels very much the same about the art pieces.

 

They told us that they go on traveling around Japan and also about their plan, visiting the Great Buddha of Kamakura. They have been enjoying a tour around Japan to the fullest and even listening about their trip made us really pleased.

They left a comment saying they also had a pleasurable experience with us.

As you can roll up a kakejiku in order to compactly keep it in its box, it makes an ideal souvenir which is easily carriable. Besides, for a visitor from abroad like you, displaying the authentic Japanese painting in your room surely brings you back to the wonderful days on your holiday in Japan whenever you look at the art piece eternally.

Our store trades in kakejiku world widely and welcomes the visit of anyone who is interested in the traditional fine art.

It is a privilege for us to let the world know kakejiku, the traditional Japanese culture.

We, all of us will continue to dedicate ourselves to provide the art works filled with Japan’s charm for our customers to enhance their trip in Japan to be more enjoyable and memorable.

Our Feelings For Kakejiku

 The Japanese people have long set a high value on aesthetic senses since ancient times. As a result, the
peculiar culture which is not seen in other countries blossomed and many aspects of the modern Japanese
culture come from it. Parts of Japanese culture has been introduced to people in other countries recently,
so the number of people from other countries who are interested in Japanese culture has been increasing.
However, the Japanese aesthetic senses, which are the bases of Japanese culture, have been nurtured
through a long history, intertwining various elements intricately, such as climate, geographical features,
religion, customs and so on. Therefore, they are very difficult to understand not only for people from other
countries, but even for the Japanese people. I think the best tool which conveys these difficult senses
understandably is a “kakejiku.”
 The kakejiku (a hanging scroll; a work of calligraphy or a painting which is mounted and hung in an
alcove or on a wall) is a traditional Japanese art. It's no exaggeration to say that paintings are what
express aesthetic senses at all times and places. The kakejiku is an art which expresses the Japanese
aesthetic senses. The kakejiku has long been used in traditional Japanese events, daily life and so on since
ancient times. As a result, there are various customs of kakejiku in Japan; kakejiku and the life of the
Japanese are closely related. We can see Japanese values through kakejiku.
 The kakejiku is a cultural tradition which the Japanese people should be proud of. However, many people
in other countries don't know much about it because it hasn't been showcased as much. This is why I
decided to try to introduce it. The kakejiku world is very interesting and beautiful. We want not only the
Japanese, but also many people from other countries to know and enjoy it. I hope that many people will
love kakejiku someday.
