We are excited to welcome artist and collaborator Saki Tanaka for an exhibition and workshop at Kakimori.
To mark our 15th anniversary, we redesigned the bags for our gift wrapping and order-made notebooks, commissioning Tanaka to create the original artworks.
In April this year, she also created specially commissioned works for our latest order-made notebook covers.
We have taken Tanaka’s free-spirited and boldly coloured paintings and brought them to life as notebooks. This exhibition is a chance to see the original pieces behind the finished designs.
From artwork to notebook and gift — enjoy an exhibition and workshop tracing the link between.
