[Until 10/12 (Mon, Holiday)] Special Exhibition "My Standard, Autumn and Winter Preparation Edition" ~ Handwoven scarves, undergarments, and fabric bags at Chayamachi Harenohi's workshop Hanayoshi. Let's feel the warmth of the materials.

In recent years, even in October, we have been experiencing summer-like days, but this year, the climate feels more autumn-like, and some may have started preparing winter items like scarves.

We live in an era where you can buy anything online, but for items that touch the skin or are used for a long time, it’s best to choose them after actually handling and checking the materials.

At the first floor of Chayamachi Haleno Hi, the workshop 花好Hanayoshi is holding a special exhibition "My Standard, Autumn and Winter Preparation Edition" from October 2 (Friday) to 12 (Monday, public holiday) in 2026, so let me introduce the details.

What is the special exhibition "My Standard, Autumn and Winter Preparation Edition"?

The special exhibition "My Standard, Autumn and Winter Preparation Edition" is a display and sales event featuring items that can be comfortably used in the upcoming autumn and winter. It is being held at the first floor of Chayamachi Haleno Hi in Chayamachi, Kurashiki City until October 12, 2026.

The workshop Hanayoshi specializes in flower gifts, seasonal flower classes, and wedding floral arrangements, and moved to Chayamachi Haleno Hi on June 4, 2026.

The exhibitors are three groups of creators as follows:

• Oribu Gecko
  Handwoven scarves, stoles, and mats
• Kurashiki Nuno
  Underwear and socks
• Cutte
  Fabric bags and accessories

The opening hours are from 11 AM to 5 PM, and it will be closed on October 8 (Thursday).

Interview with Kunié Hotta from Hanayoshi

I spoke with Kunié Hotta from Hanayoshi about the special exhibition "My Standard, Autumn and Winter Preparation Edition."

Could you tell us about the background of the planning for the special exhibition "My Standard, Autumn and Winter Preparation Edition"?

Hotta (no honorifics)

Hanayoshi is run by my mother and me, and the three groups participating in this exhibition are creators of items that we usually love and use.

I planned this exhibition because I wanted to introduce these creators.

What points would you like people to pay attention to?

Hotta

Kurashiki Nuno is well-known within Kurashiki City, and you can also buy their products online. However, I think there are people who want to actually handle and feel the materials to confirm their quality with their own eyes. Chayamachi Haleno Hi has parking available and is an easy place to visit, so I would like those who are interested to come and see it in person.

Oribu Gecko is based in Osaka, does not have a store, and creates and sells items by themselves. Each piece is unique and can only be purchased here. By the way, they are scheduled to come to the venue for about two days during the exhibition period.

Cutte is based in Okayama and sells their products at events and pop-ups in shops. I reached out to them because I like their work.

Finally, do you have a message for the readers?

Hotta

These are handmade items made with a focus on materials. I would love for everyone to take a look at them.

Since Chayamachi Haleno Hi is a newly opened facility, I think there are still many who do not know about it.
There are also guest chef meals and cafes, so please stop by.

Conclusion

Chayamachi Haleno Hi is a facility that just opened in June 2026, located just a few minutes' walk from JR Chayamachi Station, and it is equipped with ample parking and barrier-free facilities.

It is a facility that is easy to drop by, so why not visit to find your own "standard" for autumn and winter preparations?
