RemarksWelcome back to "Engiyado"
An exhibition set at Yanaka's long-established ryokan Sawanoya - illustrations, sculptures, fragrances
Ryokan Sawanoya is an inn that connects people and cultures from all over the world.
Yes, this is an "Engiyado".

September 2021. The new coronavirus is raging, making it difficult to "travel", and the ryokan Sawanoya, which was always bustling with travelers, gradually disappeared. The inside of the building is quiet and a little lonely. In such a situation, we invited two artists, Erica Ward and Takao Sakai, to hold the art and book project "Welcome to 'Engiyado'" with the desire to preserve the charm of the ryokan Sawanoya, which attracts travelers from all over the world, and to continue the many connections that were made here and to further foster new connections.

Three years have passed since then. Travelers from all over the world are gradually returning to Ryokan Sawanoya, and the building is bustling with the sound of various languages and smiles.

With a feeling of "welcome back" at Ryokan Sawanoya, where daily life is returning, we will hold the second "Engi-ya" event, "Welcome back to Engi-ya."

This time, in addition to Erica Ward and Takao Sakai, works by Perfumer Kō will be exhibited in various places on the first floor of Ryokan Sawanoya. Enjoy how each work blends with Ryokan Sawanoya, including illustrations, sculptures, and fragrances.

In addition, on the first day, Nora Chirin will host an exchange event with artists over drinks and food, and during the event, there will be a rakugo performance by Sanyutei Rakko (at KOKESHI Gallery, close to Ryokan Sawanoya), a photo shoot with Azlar by Takao Sakai, and many other events.

These members were connected by the message, "Welcome to Engiyado." Thanks to the connections that Engiyado has made, we are able to deliver the message, "Welcome back to Engiyado."

To all travelers, to all those who have come to visit Engiyado, to all the people of Yanaka, and to all those who are meeting us for the first time,

Welcome back.
Please enjoy your stay.
