| Introduction Introduction |
In the hot month of August, we will be holding an exhibition of stylish "seal designs" that are a little different from the usual. Taizan Nagasaka Bishop , whose real name is Yasushi Bishop, has recently been busy creating seals and private logos. The term "Yukoku," coined by Bishop, is a collective name for the seals and private logos he carves.
I really like the lighthearted and elegant "playful carvings" he has created, like the one above, and I even commissioned him to make the seal for our gallery, which I use every day. This exhibition will showcase this collection of Yukoku works, including a set of seals representing the twelve months in beautiful Japanese words, a set of seals representing the names of the months in the old calendar and the 24 solar terms, a folding screen for the tea ceremony, dried sweets, and a hand towel. We also accept orders for private logo designs. Although not for sale, 36 of his private logo designs will also be on display.
Bishop, who always has a friendly smile on his face, will be at the venue every day during the conference. I apologize for bothering you during this hot weather, but I would be delighted if you would take a look.
