At the request of the Art project executive committee, Kundo Koyama, Masataka Matsutoya, Herbie Yamaguchi, and Anju, members of the photography section of Tokyo Conference, took artistic photographs of the Tokyo Waterfront City to liven up ARTBAY TOKYO with the power of photography.

INFO.
We started a parasol rental project featuring parasols with original designs for visitors to the area as a measure against the heat. Booths from iKASA, a parasol rental platform, are installed at all stations on the Yurikamome Line and Tokyo Teleport Station, Kokusai-tenjijo Station on the Rinkai Line. Specially designed with the ARTBAY TOKYO logo, the parasols can be used as rain umbrellas as well.

Hiragana-themed jewelry on sale
CONCEPT
Deconstruction, assembly, quotation, and reconstruction of lines.
I use calligraphy, which I have been doing since I was a child, as a means of expression.
I would like to draw out the elements of lines that I find beautiful in classical calligraphy and bring them into the present with a modern sensibility.
In particular, I was influenced by the work Masu-shikishi from the set of three classic calligraphy works called Sanshikishi.
I find my ideal female image, like those who behave flexibly and naturally in this somewhat uncomfortable society, in the calligraphy lines that are soft and not showing any intensity yet which have a sense of tension.
I am exploring new possibilities for calligraphy by experimenting with a range of methods of expression, such as breaking down and reconstructing the shapes of characters, emphasizing shadows, and forming three-dimensional brush strokes.

CONCEPT
In 2020, the abnormal suddenly became the new normal. We got restricted from going out or even meeting people. It was only when the ordinary days we took for granted disappeared that we realized how precious they were. Yet, we still have to move forward, in the hopes that those ordinary days will return once again, one day. That is my reason for drawing “ ONE DAY “
