2022.07.30

Art Aquarium Museum GINZA will hold a special program “Summer Art Aquarium ~Feel the cool of summer with goldfish~” from July 20 to September 20, 2022.
This summer special program, titled “~Feel the cool of summer with goldfish~,” will feature new exhibits and presentations.
Please enjoy the unique atmosphere of summer in Japan at Art Aquarium.

Cool wind-bell tunnel production

The exhibition area of the “Chochin-rium,” a work based on the motif of “Matsuri Lanterns,” a traditional Japanese lighting fixture, is decorated with layers of wind-bells.
The wind-bells emitting pale light and goldfish swimming like flickering lights in the lanterns express a summer evening in a way that only an art aquarium can.
A tunnel of wind-bells leads to the “Goldfish Bamboo Forest,” a cool summer production.

Flowerium x sunflower

The collaboration work “Flowerium” with the flower arrangement artist Shogo Kariyazaki will be colored with the vibrant flower “Sunflower”, which is a vitamin color that represents summer.

A small new vessel that looks like a vase is made into a large and dynamic work by Shogo Kariyazaki’s ikebana art.
It is a collaboration work with a gorgeous and bewitching world view, a goldfish that swims gracefully with a finely constructed beauty.

New productions start at the Goldfish Corridor and Goldfish Waterfall.

[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.
