Mai Miyake ”Little Lily – White Lie”
Portfolio
By replacing Japanese traditional aesthetics with the modern sense, Mai Miyake pours sensitive observations to various events of various sizes in our daily lives and expresses it delightfully. Her piece reconstructs the format of Classic literature and the story sometimes cynically, and sometimes humorously, which embodies Japanese aesthetics of “God (beauty) is present in the details”. There are many information and stories that are easily missed. For those who stopped to observe the cute characters and animals that appear in the frame will receive a small signal from her that will allow you to explore the deep meaning behind it. The theme behind the exhibition is “White” color, which has been Miyake`s long-term exploration. It will feature approximately 20 pieces including a big hanging scroll (kakejiku) and the latest holography works.

Shiriagari Kotobuki x Hiroshige “Yaji♡Kita in Tokaido”
Portfolio
Shiriagari Kotobuki, manga artist based in Shizuoka City, was awarded the 5th Annual Osamu Tezuka Culture Award for "Yajikita in DEEP" that was based on the theme of "Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige" by Jippensha Ikku. A surreal and unique world intertwining the real and the imaginary has received positive reception from the fields of both literature and art. This exhibition titled "Shiriagari Kotobuki x Hiroshige 'Yaji x Kita in Tōkaido' " will explore Tōkaido post-towns from Nihonbashi to Okabe while comparing Shiriagari Kotobuki's "Mayonaka no Yaji-san Kita-san" and Hiroshige's "Tōkaido Gojusantsugi." Please join us for a unique trip along the Tōkaido with Yaji Kita while reading deeply into Hiroshige's Hoeidō edition, "Reisho Tōkaidō" and "Gyosho Tōkaidō" (received critical acclaim as the Tōkaidō Sanyaku) as well as popular Tōkaido series such as the "Kyoka Tōkaido" (with a clever comic tanka poem) and the creative world of imagination depicted by Shiriagari Kotobuki.
