Let’s Knit Gloves to the Moon!
Today marks the fifth day since the Setouchi Triennale began! Despite the heat, many people visited the Triennale’s Hiketa Area on the weekend, making the town extremely lively! ☺️
・Everyone’s Hands: Let’s Knit Gloves that Reach to the Moon! by Leonid Tishkov
・Fairy Tales about Mr. Glove by Marina Moskvina
At the Glove Gallery, author Leonid Chishkov expresses the worldview of picture books written by his wife, author Marina Moskvina. 📕 Nearly 1,000 visitors visited on Sunday alone, demonstrating their interest in the works from the Hiketa Area, which is being exhibited for the first time. ✨ The large gloves, knitted in collaboration with local residents and volunteers, have a strong presence and immediately catch everyone’s eye. 🧤
Around the exhibition, various tools of the glove-making process, such as sewing machines and glove cutting dies, are on display. ✨
There are also moon-like objects displayed on top of suitcases…🌙
Moon expressed in a bucket…🌓🌙
There are plenty of other enjoyable exhibits around, so you’ll likely spend a while there 😀 In the attic, a flying object made the other day is also on display❗️
The room is filled with colorful floating gloves, allowing visitors to enjoy every corner of the gallery. ♬ There is also a picture book corner in the back, making it fun for children too! 📙
The history of gloves is explained in an easy-to-understand way with actual items, and the locations of glove companies are indicated by sewing thread spools…🧵
After thoroughly enjoying the world of gloves 😊 I will be introducing other works in the near future! 🎵
