KAIKOU: Exhibition of Fans by Seven Artists


KAIKOU" means "chance encounter" or "fateful meeting," and we chose this title as a place where the artists' personalities and sensitivities intersect.

This is a special exhibition in which seven artists reinterpret the traditional Japanese art form of the fan mask from the perspective of contemporary art, creating unique works of art.
