SUMMARY:Mizuhiki: Japanese Decorative Knots – Memento Mori Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:In Japan\, the knot on an envelope says what words cannot. \nMizuhiki are fine cords made of twisted washi paper\, tied into knots that decorate gifts and envelopes for life’s turning points. They also appear at funerals and memorial services: black-and-white or silver knots adorn the condolence envelopes offered to the bereaved. Some knots are tied so that they can never be undone. On a condolence envelope\, this carries the wish that such sorrow will never be repeated; at a wedding\, the same knot stands for a bond that lasts. \nIn this workshop\, mizuhiki instructor Satoi Adams\, who has taught in Boston\, New York\, and Tokyo since 2018\, guides you through the basic knots and their meanings. You will make your own mizuhiki accessory to take home. \nNo experience necessary\nAll materials included\nLimited to 12 participants\nAdmission ticket required (sold separately) \nThis workshop is part of Memento Mori in NYC: The Art of Japanese Life and Death\, November 5–6 at RESOBOX. For the full program\, please visit the official website: mementomori-nyc.com \n\n\n$50 / person \nAll materials included · Admission ticket sold separately \nAt checkout\, select “November 5th at 5 pm (Memento Mori festival)” \n\nReserve Your Spot \n\nPLEASE NOTE: You can register on the day until the workshop starts\, while seats last. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the session are nonrefundable.

SUMMARY:Bin Kuroshima: Hand-Painted Kyo-Yuzen at Carl Hansen & Søn
DESCRIPTION:Kyoto dye artist Bin Kuroshima at the Midtown Manhattan flagship of Carl Hansen & Søn. \nFor more than four decades\, Bin Kuroshima has painted with dye. Hand-Painted Kyo-Yuzen brings his screens\, tapestries\, scrolls and panels\, colored largely with botanical dyes and sumi ink\, into the showroom of the Danish furniture maker: an encounter between two traditions built on natural materials\, the hand\, and time. \nIt is Kuroshima’s first exhibition with Carl Hansen & Søn\, and he will be in New York for the opening reception on Tuesday\, November 10. \n\n\nExhibitionNovember 6\, 2026 – January 8\, 2027 \nOpening receptionTuesday\, November 10\, 2026\, 6:00–8:00 pmThe artist will be present. \nAdmissionFree \nVenueCarl Hansen & Søn Flagship Store\, Midtown East145 East 57th Street\, New York\, NY 10022 \nShowroom hoursMonday–Friday 10 am–6 pm · Saturday 11 am–5 pm · Closed SundayHoliday hours may vary.

He is a nationally certified Traditional Craftsman\, and Kyoto Prefecture has named him a Kyo no Meiko\, a Master Craftsman of Kyoto. \nKyo-yuzen is a divided craft in which almost every stage belongs to a different specialist. Kuroshima is a rare integrator: he understands every stage and directs the specialists who work with him\, keeping authorship from the first line to the finished piece. In his sugaki-yuzen\, also called lineless yuzen\, the dye is brushed straight onto the cloth\, without the fine paste lines that normally keep each color apart. \nHe paints on silk\, cotton\, hemp and paper\, working largely in botanical dyes\, whose colors go on deepening for decades\, and in sumi ink. Each piece is then finished by tailoring or mounting. His work adorns the lobby of Kyoto Omuro Kadensho\, and at the request of former Kyoto Mayor Daisaku Kadokawa he created garments worn by the mayors of Kyoto’s sister cities at official receptions\, among them a furisode for the Mayor of Paris. \nAt ICFF 2026 in New York\, Santo Kafuan\, the Kyoto gallery that represents him\, won Best Wall Treatment in the NKBA Manhattan Chapter’s Inspire Awards for a mural he painted on site. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP \n\nJoin us for the opening reception on Tuesday\, November 10\, 6:00–8:00 pm\, with Bin Kuroshima.
