PARIS KONOKONO
Sending our thrills and smiles all the way to Paris!
“Even without words, we can still connect.”

This exhibition presents handmade works by children with disabilities in Japan, created together with their teachers.
The world is wide, and even without shared language, we can create and connect together.
We hope this experience inspires the children to realize that there are many ways to reach out and be understood.
------------
[Tsumami-Zaiku]
Tsumami Zaiku is a traditional Japanese craft that dates back over 200 years to the Edo period.
It involves folding small squares of cloth into delicate seasonal shapes like flowers.
Each piece in this exhibition was lovingly made by children with disabilities in Japan.
We present them as unique strap accessories, combining traditional fox masks and Edo-style cords.
May the hearts of these children reach you across the sea.
[Pâte de Verre]
Pâte de verre is a glass-making technique born in ancient Mesopotamia and revived in France during the Art Nouveau era.
Children in Japan used this delicate method to create colorful glass artworks inspired by “shuriken,” the iconic ninja star.
This cross-cultural piece symbolizes the bridge between Japan and France.
[Kimono Fabric Rolls]
The art of kimono originated in Kyoto, a sister city to Paris.
Children carefully handcrafted scrolls using scraps of these exquisite fabrics.
We hope a piece of this living tradition resonates with your heart.
