2023.6 FRANCE #1

2023.June Buying Diary #1

I went to France to buying. 

 

Arrive in Paris.

 

It's cooler than I thought.

Paris for only one day.

Immediately after finishing the purchase, I rushed to the Cluny Museum.

 


A 15th- century tapestry I always wanted to see in real life.


"La Dame à la licorne"


This work
is a series of 6 tapestry, and it is said that the 1st to 5th tapes represent the sense of touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight respectively.

There are various theories about the sixth piece, but it seems that it remains a mystery.

 

Previously , I introduced this tapestry that corresponds to "sense of smell" in ambiant .

A vintage tapestry from about 50 years ago by an atelier that was involved in the reproduction of historical heritage.

 

Vivid colors, beautiful mille fleur details

I felt happy when I saw it at the shop every day.

 

The tapestry has already left for the customer, so I wanted to make time during my trip to France to see this series.

 

The six works were displayed in a circle around the space, and the tapestry that emerged in the silence was truly beautiful and overwhelming.

 

I feel like I spent a lot of time in this space.

 

 

 

While I was still excited, I came across this tapestry at an antique market in the south of France.

This tapestry is also a vintage item made by the same atelier mentioned above.

 

I was a little worried that I would not be able to bring it back to Japan because of its powerful size, but I was able to bring it back safely.

I also found a variety of my favorite decoys in Paris.

A decoy is a bird model originally used as a decoy for hunting.

 

There are really various types of decoys, from simple ones to elaborate ones, but when I find one that I like, I try to take it home with me.

 

This time, due to the short schedule, we will rush through Paris and Lyon, and from the third day onwards we will be in the south of France.
