Karakami Artwork Exhibition
Special Exhibition 2024
“The Beginning of the Botanical Garden and a Century of Forest”
Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Kyoto Botanical Garden
(September 14 – November 10, 2024)

A karakami artwork was presented as part of the special commemorative exhibition held at the Kyoto Institute, Library and Archives.
The exhibition explored the origins and the hundred-year history of the Kyoto Botanical Garden.

The patterns used in this work were created through a collaboration between Karacho and the Kyoto Botanical Garden as part of the “100 Patterns of the Heisei and Reiwa Eras Project.”
Inspired by rare and endangered plants, five new karakami patterns were developed for this project.

The artwork has since been relocated and is currently on display at the Kyoto Botanical Garden.
