An exhibition by Shoko Uemura will be held at the Shohaku Art Museum from June 21st (Tue) to August 28th (Sun), 2022.
At the age of 17, Shoko Uemura was impressed by the work of Koyo Ishizaki, who painted tropical flowers and birds in India in vivid colors. Please enjoy the world of tropical flowers and birds that makes you feel the strong colors of red and gold that are layered on top of each other.
Shoko Uemura (1902-2001) had a strong admiration for encountering the world of tropical flowers and birds of Koyo Ishizaki, a senior of the Kyoto painter, and about 40 years later, he went to India and Southeast Asia in 1959, and Hawaii in 1963. After that, I am energetically traveling to the tropics.
Over a dozen years, he created tropical-themed works including “Phoenix tree” one after another, and the world of colorful tropical flowers and birds full of energy unfolds as if Matsutaka’s long-standing dream explodes. You can see how it is going. In the sketch, exotic forms of flowers and birds that are not found in Japan are vividly depicted in the moist air of the area.
In this exhibition, we will focus on works depicting the world of the colorful paradise “Tropical Flowers and Birds” that Shoko dreamed of, including “Phoenix Tree” by Shoko Uemura.

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.
