Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, going out has been restricted, and we have been unable to meet others in person, losing opportunities to meet others. Recently, there have been signs of improvement, and the city has begun to regain its vitality.
In this situation, we are holding an exhibition with the theme of encounters.

A work of art is created through the people, things, and ways of thinking that an artist encounters.
This exhibition will focus on works from the collection and will unfold around the things the artist encountered and the stories that began with them.
We hope that through these works of various genres, viewers will also have the opportunity to have wonderful "encounters."
Please take your time to look around.


-Highlights of the Encounter - The Beginning of the Story Exhibition-


I'm curious about the background behind the creation of these works of art.
The story behind the creation of each piece.
And the story depicted there.

In this exhibition, 17 artists have been selected under the theme of "encounters."
