FUJIHIMURO in Fujiyoshida will host PORTRAIT LAB’s free exhibition “MY HAND” from Friday, October 2 through Sunday, October 25, 2026. The event turns locally made textiles and soft-furniture forms into a gallery-and-lounge installation, but travelers need to plan around three weekly closed days.
Key Facts For Travelers
What Travelers Will See
The official event page describes MY HAND as an exhibition by PORTRAIT LAB using locally produced Fujiyoshida textiles. Soft-furniture pieces are presented as sculptural objects, while the space is arranged so visitors can also experience the works in a lounge-like setting.
FUJIHIMURO occupies a former ice factory and storage building. That industrial background is part of the venue’s identity, but the exhibition notice—not the venue’s usual operating information—should guide this visit: MY HAND is listed specifically for 11:00–17:00 on its open days.
Plan Around The Three Weekly Closed Days
The most important planning detail is the Tuesday-to-Thursday closure. A trip on any of those days will not work even though the exhibition runs for most of October. Friday through Monday are the listed visiting days, subject to any later official change.
Use the full address in your route planner and allow enough time to arrive before the 17:00 closing time. The event page provides the venue address but does not publish dedicated transport instructions for this exhibition, so check your route separately on the day of travel.
Little Hand Workshop On October 17–18
A separate Little Hand Workshop is scheduled during the Hataori Festival for Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18. Sessions are listed at 13:00 and 15:00 on both days, with up to three groups per session and an estimated duration of at least 30 minutes.
The workshop fee is ¥4,840 per item and advance application is required through the form linked from the official event page. The organizer describes a group as roughly two or three people. Free exhibition admission does not include the workshop fee.
