The Essence

Established in the late Edo Period. An 150-year old inn and restaurant that specializes in freshwater fish and wild plant dishes. Located just outside of the precincts of Shirayama-hime Shrine, the headquarters of the 2,700 Shirayama shrines across Japan, this inn/restaurant features an interior filled with a traditional atmosphere and a beautiful location surrounded by trees. The art shop’s building is a traditional town house (machiya) built in the early Meiji Period (around late 19th century). The building has solid beams and pillars as well as a traditional dirt floor room with white plaster walls. The garden has a stone washbasin that is said to have reflected the moon. The doors of the traditional storage are also fascinating. As a town house originally owned by a merchant with cultural features that are highly valuable, this building has been designated as an Excellent Kanazawa Machiya by Kanazawa City.

 

Discoveries

Built more than 100 years ago, our building is now providing a space that brings out the charms of the artworks. In a city named Kanazawa which has cherished kogei (roughly translated as “craft”) for centuries, enjoy the charms of the space and kogei art focusing on expression – items that are uniquely different from common kogei items such as tea ceremony tools, dishes, and accessories.

Brief history

Tsukibae is a specialty art shop that offers three-dimensional art created by artists whose works are based on techniques related to Kanazawa. We display and sell works that fuse the artist’s thoughts/feelings and various materials including ceramics, metalworks, lacquer, glass, and fabric. In addition to viewing artworks at museums and special venues, we propose displaying artworks casually in your own space to share its worldview, space, and time. Three-dimensional artworks stimulate the five senses and speak to us in various ways.
