1st Japan International Art Festival Collaboration Project: “Van Gogh and Ukiyo-e” spun with Nishijin textiles

This service includes sponsored advertisements.

Nishijin textiles express the characteristic paint touch of Vincent van Gogh, a post-impressionist painter who continues to fascinate people all over the world, as if squeezed out of a tube. The ukiyo-e works that Van Gogh admired and copied are also expressed in Nishijin-ori.
