The exhibition is visually stunning, almost like walking through a collection of picture books. Bright, vibrant colors dominate the scenes, and some of the works remind me of the patterns found on traditional Japanese kimonos. The artist's creations are vivid, contemporary, imaginative, and pop-inspired, yet they incorporate a diverse range of elements from both Japanese and Western cultures, blending modern and traditional influences.
I was particularly drawn to <We The People>, which reinterprets The Death of Socrates by Jacques-Louis David, set against the backdrop of a supermarket. The artist invites visitors to reflect on the social issues faced by modern society.
The exhibition runs until May 11, 2025, at Azabudai Hills Gallery.

May 5: Special Exhibition: The Korin, Okyo, and Kiitsu Trio: Masterpieces of Screen Painting at the Nezu Museum is being held until May 11th at the Nezu Museum in Minami Aoyama. This exhibition is an opportunity to experience the National Treasure Irises screens and superb tea utensils Mr. Nezu prepared for a tea gathering in May 1937. This is an annual event at the museum when we can appreciate the Iris Screens and Irises in the garden. We had a good time scrolling around the garden looking at irises by the pond.
