Jiyukajin Mizuhiki Museum ［自遊花人水引ミュージアム］

The 200 colored mizuhiki lampshades create a fantastical space.

Jiyu Kajin, located on the banks of the Sai River in Kanazawa City , is the gallery and workshop of mizuhiki artist Yuriko Hirose. Based on the concept of "Japanese spirit and Japanese form," she creates colorful original mizuhiki by arranging traditional mizuhiki for modern designs and uses in order to spread the mizuhiki culture, a traditional Kanazawa craft. She also works on a wide range of other items, such as accessories, interior decorations, and spatial decorations, expanding the possibilities of mizuhiki. Jiyu Kajin opened this museum in the hope that more people will learn about the wonders of mizuhiki.

Inside the museum, lampshades made from 200 colors of original mizuhiki "Shiki no Ito" are on display. The designs vary according to the color of the mizuhiki, and the exquisitely arranged lampshades create a fantastic space. In order to allow visitors to enjoy the space at their own pace, the number of people allowed in at one time is limited, with a rotation system of around 10 people. In addition, in the summer, cool mizuhiki wind chimes are on display. Because it is a photogenic space, many people come in kimonos or yukatas, find their "favorite color" and enjoy taking photos with acrylic stands, and enjoy themselves in their own way. It is a recommended spot for those who want to take a memorable photo of their trip to Kanazawa .
