2020.04.23

Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore held a contemporary artist Hiroshi Mori’s solo exhibition “MOSHA” and photographer Kotori Kawashima’s photo exhibition “Good morning, have a good time” as a main project to commemorate the third anniversary of the opening of the store. As part of this, the exhibitions were temporarily closed and these exhibitions were also closed. We will introduce the works that can not be seen at the actual store online so that you can purchase them.

Due to temporary closures, the exhibition works being held will be sold at the online store.

The actual store will be closed, but instead, we would like to propose “living with art” online and have a good time at home.
Although we are not able to visit each exhibition, we would like to propose works on the online site instead, so we hope you enjoy it.

Exhibitions that have been suspended | Hiroshi Mori Solo Exhibition "MOSHA"

Hiroshi Mori remixes the images of subcultures and masterpieces in art history, and uses the latest technology to create works with unique textures. Mori has produced works such as the Lichtenstein × J-pop series, which remixes Roy Lichtenstein and Japanese subculture, and the Japanesque series, which remixes Japanese old paintings and anime, in this exhibition, which is a memorable solo exhibition. We are pleased to announce a new series including the new series, the Portraits series, and the Damien Hirst Parody series.

Suspended Exhibition | Kawashima Bird Photo Exhibition "Good morning

Kotori Kawashima, a photographer who is impressed by photographs that capture the moment when human innocence and honest feelings shine.
We have published a 400-page photo book that contains many unpublished works from the early career, spinning a group of photographs taken over 20 years mainly in Tokyo where I lived from the age of eight. A photo exhibition will be held to commemorate the publication.
The small pieces, taken to scoop up the emotions of the moment in everyday life, gently suggest that the beauty and tenderness that is often overlooked is overflowing in the world. This work, which was edited mainly on landscape photographs, is different from the work that has often been the leading role of people up until now, and makes a new face of the artist.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
