Fumiko Abe Memorial Exhibition at Toba Ojoya Kadoya

伊勢とこわかや

I went to the memorial exhibition of Fumiko Abe, a washi paper doll artist from Ise City, which was held until the end of last month. There were many beautiful dolls with meticulous attention to detail, including ancient gods, historical figures, Hina dolls, and Kabuki characters. They are wonderful no matter how many times I see them.

The venue, 'Toba Ojoya Kadoya,' is a residence of a prominent village headman representing Toba City, and it opens a portion of the 'Former Hirono Family Residence,' which is a registered tangible cultural property of Japan. It is said that the Hirono family ran a pharmacy from around 1800 to 1940.
The building features modern colored glass and frosted glass, and valuable folk materials such as the oldest Japanese-made organ are also preserved.
