SAMIRO YUNOKI: ETERNAL NOW

This exhibition looks back at the life and career of pioneering stencil-dye artist Samiro Yunoki (1922–2024), who died last year at the age of 101. Yunoki’s practice developed out of his encounter with Soetsu Yanagi and the Mingei movement as well as the work of master craftsman Keisuke Serizawa. His designs are distinguished by their use of vibrant colors and humorous forms that draw equally from the Japanese vernacular tradition and a modern sensibility. In addition to his work in fabric, his multifaceted output encompasses prints, collages, sculptural works, picture books, and more.

TOKYO OPERA CITY ART GALLERY

Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery is one of the core institutions of the Tokyo Opera City cultural complex. Established in 1999 as an art museum integrated into urban life, TOCAG presents ambitious projects by Japanese and international artists, architects, and designers who transform the gallery space. It holds about four special exhibitions a year as well as an exhibition series for emerging Japanese artists called project N. TOCAG is also home to the Terada collection, comprising more than 4,000 works by Japanese artists in various mediums, including substantial holdings of celebrated abstract painter Tatsuoki Nambata. Donated by Kotaro Terada, a partner in the Tokyo Opera City complex’s development, the collection reveals the diverse trajectories that art has followed in postwar Japan.
