The first exhibition of 2025 will feature students and graduates of the Tokyo University of the Arts, who use traditional techniques to create works that fuse or sublimate contemporary sensibilities and classical techniques.
Mariko Kubo, who uses lacquer to create an unprecedentedly fresh and light world of lacquer.
Miyu Kumasaka, who expresses lyrical scenes in transition gracefully and elegantly using engraved metal.
Shusei Nishimura sublimates ‘dyeing and weaving’ into painting, and incorporates lustrous and beautiful scenes into the overlapping threads and strands.
Nana Nishinaga, who embraces the charm of porcelain’s white colour in her fragile but gentle works full of narrative.
Come and experience the fresh charm of these four artists at the beginning of the year.
