Actress Kitagawa Keiko Shares Family Hobby of Framing Daughter's Artwork

Japanese actress Kitagawa Keiko attended a press conference on June 18 for the Louvre Museum exhibition "Renaissance" (running September 9 to December 13 at the National Art Center in Tokyo), where she discussed a recent family hobby of framing her daughter's drawings. The 39-year-old mother of two explained that her eldest daughter enjoys drawing, bringing home artwork from kindergarten and frequently sketching at home. Previously, the family simply stored these drawings, but recently they have begun framing them. Kitagawa revealed that she searches online for various frames, carefully selecting different styles, widths, designs, and colors to complement each piece. She noted that the choice of frame significantly affects how the artwork appears and the overall impression it creates, turning frame selection into an engaging household activity. The family has even joked that their daughter might become a professional painter. During the same event, it was announced that pianist Toshhito Sumino composed the exhibition's theme song, titled "Forma," specifically for the Renaissance exhibition.
