Upon arriving, you may notice the home looks like an Edo-period house, but something’s a little… different. The first thing you notice is the huge pink object extending from the counter, and looking up, you see a life-sized doll enshrined on a heavy beam from the Edo period. Unique artworks like fairies and spirits peek out from all around, and you realize—this is a world created by artist Yuuji Kunimoto himself.

Also on display are the pottery of Dotei Yoshida—Yuuji Kunimoto’s ancestor—an artist who elevated the reputation of Obata Yaki as an artistic handicraft at the end of the Edo period, and works of Kaneo Mizunuma, an oil painter who meticulously depicted the scenery of Hagi. In this creative space, we will hold a workshop to make your own, one-of-a-kind doll. Lunch includes a delicious pita sandwich.
