Hogi and Rei
Humans have woven the spirit of festivity and thankfulness into many significant cultural rituals that express our state of mind.The white and graceful material we know as paper is thought to have inspired people to create the forms of the many and diverse items we commonly associate with celebration and gratitude (hogi and rei). Form expresses spirit, and spirit is expressed through aspects of form. On the occasion of the 50th TAKEO PAPER SHOW, we would like to call upon the clear and simple imagination that paper brings out in the human heart once again.

FIBERS AND CYCLES

A third floor exhibit highlights systems that support paper as a circular resource. By exploring its unique characteristics and the roles of recycled and virgin pulp, the exhibition reveals how paper is reborn through recycling, as well as its relationship with sustainable forest resources.

FINE PAPERS

Examples of Takeo’s diverse range of fine papers are on display on the third floor, with a focus on new and redesigned products that have been on sale since 2024. Featuring paper for packaging and paper provided with functionality for specific purposes, around thirty brands are presented, including products scheduled to go on sale in the future. Print process samples that visitors can take home are also available.

CROSS TALK

Talk sessions (reservation required) are held at Takeo’s Mihoncho Honten during the exhibition period. Mihoncho Honten is a space where visitors can view, touch, and become familiar with fine papers. Paper is on sale on the ground floor. Paper and design exhibits can be viewed on the second floor.

BOOK: HOGI AND REI

Takeo Paper Show 50 has been brought together in a single publication.This book is a reconfiguration in written form of this exhibition, which zeroes in on the charm and appeal of paper that becomes apparent at special moments, utilizing the works of creators and a wide range of paper and special printing processes. The book is being sold at the exhibition in advance of its scheduled launch later on at bookstores throughout Japan.
