THE PLACE
荒川と入間川が出会う台地の上に、川越の町はあります。二度の大火への応答として、蔵造りの町並みが生まれました。
Kawagoe sits on a terrace where the Arakawa and Iruma rivers meet. The street of clay-walled warehouses was born as a response to two great fires.
PROGRAMS
Walking guideガイド
IN PREPARATION準備中すでにそこにある景観を、縦と横の軸で読み解きながら歩きます。ガイドと一緒に川越の町を歩き、土地の条件と人の応答を、景観の中に見つけていきます。
We walk, reading the landscape as it stands through two axes: scale and time. Walking Kawagoe with a guide, you will find the land's conditions, and people's responses, written into the landscape.
Kintsugi workshop金継ぎワークショップ
IN PREPARATION準備中割れた器の傷を隠さず、漆で継ぎます。傷の歴史が、器のいちばん美しい部分になります。職人と一緒に、割れた器を本漆で継ぐ工程を体験します。
Broken vessels are joined with urushi lacquer, the cracks left visible rather than hidden. The history of the break becomes the most beautiful part of the piece. With a craftsperson, try the process of repairing a broken vessel using traditional urushi lacquer.
