Mitsuko Asakura | Tapestry in Architecture: Creating Human Spaces

With support from the National Association of Japan-America Societies (NAJAS) and Japan Society of Boston, RIJS hosted its first exhibition in the Japan Friends of Harvard Concourse, titled “Tapestry in Architecture: Creating Human Spaces.” Adorning the walls with exquisite silk tapestries by Kyoto-based artist Mitsuko Asakura, this exhibition represented the artist’s desire to impact ordinary environments where people live and work. Also featured was a DVD explaining the weaving process, demonstrated and narrated by the artist herself.
