In line with the exhibition: '120th anniversary of the birth of Salvador Dalí', this exhibition introduces artworks from the collection that capture the inner spirit of the human mind.
Shounsai Shono was the first living National Treasure in the field of bamboo art. This exhibition commemorates the 120th anniversary of his birth and the 50th anniversary of his death, presenting a complete overview of his work. Introducing the development of a wide range of his styles - from his early works in the Chinese style, to more technical works that incorporate comb-weaving into classical compositions, the exhibition also features sculptural works that boldly use this technique, and others from his later years that utilise the simple beauty of bamboo.
In the season when fresh green comes to life and flower buds begin to unfurl, peach blossom and cherry blossom viewing events are of great cultural importance to the Japanese mindset. This exhibition presents flower-related artworks by the artists from Oita Prefecture.
THE CABIN COMPANY is a duo of picture book writers & artists Kentaro Abe and Saki Yoshioka, who utilise a closed school in Oita Prefecture as their studio, where they create a variety of works on a daily basis. The exhibition displays the full range of their creative activities, including more than 40 picture books, three-dimensional works and stage art, which they have been producing since the unit was formed in 2009.
