Fukushima Prefectural Museum “Spring Special Exhibition” Insects We Can’t Ignore — People and Insects in Everyday Life You can’t talk about human life without insects?! How many insects are around you? Insects have been deeply intertwined with our lives historically and culturally. Through a variety of materials, this exhibition introduces cultures in which people have used insects, such as sericulture and beekeeping; rituals and beliefs to keep insects away, such as insect-sending and insect-cutting; and changes in people’s awareness of pests. We look back at ways of living with insects in daily life and explore what people have perceived through insects.  

This is the Iwase Bookstore Aizuwakamatsu Station Front Store. We have Poplar Publishing picture book merchandise ready and look forward to your visit.

Every year, Golden Week brings Mr. Tasaki’s white porcelain. With a surface close to 影青（インチン）, the forms are precise yet somehow evoke a hint of sensuality. It opens up a world previously unseen in Hongo ware. And above all, it offers functionality that makes it easy to use. From Sunday, April 26 to Tuesday (public holiday), May 5, at the Fukunishi Honten storehouse.

The Cat Music Troupe's spring performance is "Takashi Yanase's Beloved Songs" Takashi Yanase, the model for last year's NHK morning drama series "あんぱん." We will sing the poetry collection "Beloved Songs," which he wove with heartfelt thoughts for his wife, Nobu (のぶ). The first half features the song cycle "Beloved Songs" composed by Makiko Kinoshita, and the second half traces the life of the master poet Tatsuji Miyoshi—who lived through the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras—through readings and songs based on his autobiography.

～Since I was little, I loved drawing and would draw nonstop whenever I had a blank sheet of paper. After graduating from a small boarding high school, I worked in maintenance and operations at a hydroelectric power plant in the mountains. However, I didn’t find the work very enjoyable and began thinking that I wanted a job where I could draw. By chance, I learned on TV about the profession of a maki-e artisan and knocked on the door of Mr. 曽根卓男 in Aizuwakamatsu.～ Such is the background of 大竹信一. And his daughter, 二瓶由布子, who advanced from the Craft Seminar of the Industrial Information course at the Aizu University Junior College Division to the maki-e course at the Aizu Lacquerware Technical Successor Training School, now presides over the studio ほくるし堂. This lovely parent-and-child exhibition colors the spring at 福西本店店蔵 every other year. Please take this opportunity to encounter the wonderful Aizu lacquerware. From Saturday, April 11 to Sunday, April 19. Admission is free at the venue on the second floor of 福西本店店蔵.
