YUKIKOMIZUTANI is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Julie Hayashi, Sawari : Before It Appears, Gathering a Touch, on view from Saturday, February 7 through Saturday, February 28, 2026. Julie Hayashi’s practice has long centered on themes of “that which emerges of its own accord” and “that which is in flux.” Beginning with her research into the “nijimi (blurring)” and “tarashikomi (dripping)” techniques found in Edo-period Rinpa painting, Hayashi has developed a deep interest in the philosophy of “jinen” —a concept of nature as self-arising. Her work navigates the space between the artist’s intentional act of painting and the phenomena that materials themselves generate, engaging in a quiet dialogue with nature. This exhibition marks Hayashi’s first solo presentation at YUKIKOMIZUTANI. While continuing the conceptual foundation of her ongoing Sawari series—rooted in the Rinpa notion of “that which becomes naturally,” or a sensibility of entrusting oneself to natural processes—the exhibition also reflects on bunjin culture, which flourished from the late Edo through the Meiji period. The new works presented here are informed by Hayashi’s experiences of travel and observation. The term “sawari” originates from shamisen music, referring both to a noise component and to the essential point or resonance that defines a sound or phenomenon. As Hayashi travels to different regions, she perceives the atmospheres and sonic traces that arise within her as “sawari”, translating them into paintings as if notating a musical score. We invite viewers to experience this new series at the gallery. 【Hours】12:00-18:00 【Closed】on Sundays, Mondays and National Holidays |

gallery UG Tennoz is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by UG-exclusive artist Keitoku TOIZUMI, titled “WONDERLAND – The Light, Shadow and Subtle Lies,” on view from Friday, February 6 through Saturday, February 28, 2026. Based on the perspectives and techniques developed through his previous works, TOIZUMI presents a refined exploration of light and shadow in this exhibition. Embedded within these spaces are subtle lies that challenge conventional perception. Keitoku TOIZUMI has been working exclusively with gallery UG since 2020. Through a wide range of presentations, including solo exhibitions, art fairs, and group exhibitions, he has continued to develop a distinct visual language grounded in his unique worldview. In 2025, gallery UG presented a solo exhibition by Keitoku TOIZUMI at ART FAIR TOKYO; in the same year, TOIZUMI also participated in a group exhibition in New Mexico, USA, marking a further expansion of his practice both domestically and internationally. The new works in this exhibition are constructed on a foundation of realism, with compositions and color schemes precisely structured. By introducing a calculated sense of unfamiliarity, TOIZUMI creates pictorial spaces that engage the viewer on a psychological and perceptual level. Visitors are invited to experience TOIZUMI’s latest body of work at Gallery UG Tennoz. 【Hours】11:30-18:30 【Closed】Sundays, Mondays |

Exhibition information |
MAKI Gallery is pleased to present Shichijūni kō unsō (Seventy-Two Microseasons: Cloud Aspects), New York-based artist Miya Ando’s third solo show at Tennoz, Tokyo. The exhibition features seventy-two of Ando’s signature cloud paintings structured according to shichijūni kō (七十二候), a traditional East Asian calendar system that divides the year into seventy-two microseasons. Every microseason spans approximately five to six days and is marked by a small, observable change in the natural world. Although the system is designed to organize time into fixed intervals, it is ultimately understood through the accumulation of subtle transitions. The term unsō (雲相) in the exhibition title combines un (雲), meaning cloud, and sō (相), denoting aspect, phase, or condition within classical observational vocabularies. Unsō directs our focus to how clouds present themselves at a given moment, shaped by atmosphere and duration. Shichijūni kō unsō renders the seventy-two microseasons visible through chromatic sequence and subtle shifts in the natural world, articulating time as a continuous process perceived with sustained attention to gradual variation. 【Hours】11:30-19:00 【Closed】on Sundays and Mondays |

KOTARO NUKAGA Tennoz is pleased to present Keita Morimoto’s solo exhibition ‘what we told ourselves‘ from January 17 to March 7, 2026. Keita Morimoto has continuously referenced baroque paintings and early 20th-century American realism in his work, depicting artificial sources of illumination, such as streetlights, neon signs, and the glow from a vending machine in dramatic chiaroscuro. His juxtaposition of light and shadow pins down the ephemeral narratives hidden within everyday landscapes of the contemporary city. After two and a half years since his previous solo exhibition at KOTARO NUKAGA, ‘A Little Closer’—in which the artist captured a more intimate atmosphere by tightening the distance between himself and his subjects—Morimoto’s gaze once again turns to the street corners of the city, transforming seemingly unremarkable locations into sites where the complexities of contemporary society intersect. Opening Reception: January 17, 2026 16:00 – 18:00 *Keita Morimoto will be present. 【Hours】11:30-18:00 【Closed】on Sun, Mon and Public Holidays |

Exhibition information |
YOD Gallery (Tennoz, Tokyo) is pleased to present Embrace, a solo exhibition by Eikoh Hosoe (1933–2024). This exhibition focuses on Embrace, one of Hosoe’s representative series, produced from the late 1960s to around 1970. Through the physical contact and intertwining of bodies, these photographs capture moments in which vital impulse and existential tension converge, and the boundaries between bodies dissolve. Hosoe’s long-standing exploration of the body transcends mere figuration; through the vivid contrasts and sculptural forms of gelatin silver prints, he articulates a coexistence of eros and unease generated by bodily proximity. The exhibition presents 27 vintage prints, offering a compelling aesthetic vision that visualizes the relationships between body and body, existence and existence, through the medium of photography. Visitors are invited to encounter the profound inquiry into corporeal expression and the photographic medium that lies at the core of Hosoe’s work. 【Hours】12:00-19:00 【Closed】Sundays & Mondays *From this exhibition onward, the gallery has relocated to the 2nd floor of the same building. |

ANOMALYでは、2026年3月7日(土)から4月4日(土)まで、涌井智仁個展「God, I, Ego」を開催いたします。 本展のタイトル「God, I, Ego」(ゴダイゴ)は、その文字どおり「神、私、自我」であり、それを様々なメディアやオーディオの廃棄物を媒体としながら、私たちが「神」や「私」と呼ぶ輪郭を問います。その輪郭は、神の反射として立ち上がり、世界に向けてかたちを与えられていることが示唆されます。そして「自我」とは、その反射を自分自身だと信じ続けようとする力であり、同時に、神から最も遠ざかろうとする意志でもあります。 およそ10年ぶりとなるこの度の涌井の個展では、「百鬼夜行」とも思しき夥しい近作の羅列と、未発表新作のインスタレーションを展開します。 近年の集大成とも言える作品群と、新作との展開になる涌井智仁の個展を、ぜひその現場に立ち会い、ご自身の感覚で体験してください。 ■オープニングレセプション:3月7日(土)17:00 - 19:00 *作家在廊 *レセプション中にパフォーマンス「パラノイド、人生は楽しむものか終えるものか」を開催いたします(時間非公開)。 *本展では不快な音が流れる作品があります。聴覚に懸念がある方は、ご自身の判断でご入場ください。 【Hours】12:00-18:00 【Closed】on Sundays, Mondays, and National holidays |
