“ IWAMI TRIBE with SUKIMONO ” Exhibition in Tokyo (Jan 30 – Feb 1, 2026)
島根県西部・石見が育んだ職人とクリエイターの力強い「ものづくり」を体感する地方発展示会
島根県・石見(いわみ) 地方を拠点に、デザインや建築、宿運営など多角的なアプローチで地域の課題へ取り組んできた「SUKIMONO」が贈る、体験型展示「IWAMI TRIBE(石見族)」が東京で初開催されます。 “石見族”とは石見の地で誇りを持ち、自らの創意工夫を注ぎ込む職人やクリエイターたちを意味し「どう生きるか、何を大切にするか」という思想でつながる創造的な集団を指します。効率や実益だけを追い求めるのではなく、作り手自身が楽しみ、葛藤し、魂を込めて生み出したものには、人の心を動かす力が宿ります。 今回の展示はそれらの洗練されたプロダクトを通じて、その背景にある「ライフスタンス(生き方・思想)」を東京の中心で展示・体験する試みです。石見で育まれた純粋で洗練された「ものづくり」の熱量。次世代へ続く新しい価値観を、ぜひ会場で体感してください。
Where city meets region, maker meets user—over three transformative days.
The exhibition venue, Telling Cafe & Gallery, was established as a space to experience—through all five senses—the forms of Japanese creativity worth passing on to future generations. At a time when values around consumption are undergoing a profound shift, this exhibition reframes the Iwami region through the lens of creative making rooted not in efficiency or utility alone, but in the hands, bodies, emotions, and pride of the makers themselves. By doing so, it presents Iwami as a regionally driven creative model—one that opens toward the city as a concrete example of a next-generation, circular economy. In addition to the exhibition, the program introduces immersive, stay-based initiatives that go beyond conventional tourism, including “Nursery School Study Abroad®” programs in the Iwami area and art-based training programs for companies.
