On yesterday's holiday, I went to Ueno, where the cherry blossoms were over and the green leaves were dazzling,national museumCartier exhibition at theI went to the
Cartier Creations - Memories of Beauty Encounters
Hyokeikan, National Museum March 28 (Sat) - May 31 (Sun), 2009
Although the exhibition was held in the not so spacious Hyokeikan, the product designerThe exhibition supervised by Tokujin Yoshioka was very inventive and spectacular.
As the subtitle "Story of~" suggests, this was an interesting project for a jewelry-themed exhibition that focused more on the surroundings than on the jewelry itself, introducing a number of masterpieces that have been handed down from the founding of the Cartier maison, along with the stories and background of each piece. It was an interesting project for a jewelry-themed exhibition, focusing on the surroundings of the jewelry rather than the jewelry itself.
However, as you follow each story, you are ultimately drawn into the Cartier brand, which feels a bit like a tie-up (as is to be expected from a project like this), and I felt it was a bit clunky. However, I thought it was very clever that the stories of the birth of watches and jewelry, which are now standard items, made me want to buy them.
The history of a jeweler that has continued to respond to certain strong requests from celebrities around the world was a good encouragement for me, who works with custom-made jewelry as my signature. I will do my best.
After the exhibition, we took a short walk around the museum. The double-flowered cherry trees were still in full bloom and looked very beautiful in the mild sunlight along with the fresh greenery.
I left after a leisurely late lunch at the Garden Terrace, located in the new, modern building of the Gallery of Horyuji Treasures.
This bright open cafe on the grounds of the National Museum is quite a hole in the wall with a nice view and relaxed atmosphere!

A nice, slightly sweaty Wednesday. It was nice to have a very relaxing time for the first time in a while.
