Entrance

A heart-warming experience that brings Art into everyday life.

Fujiwo Ishimoto's exhibition "Tsubomi-Buds-" will be held at Entrance (Spiral 1F), which proposes daily art easy to incorporate into the everyday life.

This exhibition is the first in about 3 years at Spiral. At this occasion, 36 "Tsubomi-Buds-" works as well as relief works inspired by the graphic designs created by Fujio Ishimoto in the past will be exhibited. In 2020, Ishimoto moved his creative base from Finland to Japan, and the works produced at his new atelier in Dogo hold different expression from the works produced in Finland.

At the venue, we will also introduce product "Mustakivi"'s items such as towels and tableware made in collaboration with Fujiwo Ishimoto.

Please take this opportunity to see many of Fujiwo Ishimoto's precious works.
