Sweets deco becomes art, the world of “ULTRA SWEETS”

2021.06.14

Osamu Watanabe, a leading expert in sublimating sweets deco technology into art, will hold his first solo exhibition at gallery UG Tennoz.

Ultra sweet art exhibition. What is the new art style advocated by Osamu Watanabe?

The profound exhibition title “Ultra Sweets”, which is based on the image of “Ultra Baroque”, is also a sign of Osamu Watanabe’s new ambition for this exhibition.
“Ultra-Broque” is a style in which the Baroque architectural style inherited from the suzerain, Spain, has undergone a surprising and unique change in Latin American countries such as Mexico and Peru by mixing it with the local aesthetic sense.

At the exhibition, in addition to his past masterpieces, a total of 6 meters of “Birds and Animals in the Flower Tree”, which was produced over a year and was produced over a year, will be unveiled for the first time. Keep an eye on the ever-evolving art of Osamu Watanabe.

[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.
