This small gallery,
The power to instantly transform things into your own colors.
What gave rise to that unique individuality that sets them apart from others?
They've shared a lot of information.
001: by GAKU / Artist
GAKU has autism and doesn't have the words to describe his own work (although he has the rich form of expression in painting). So we spoke with GAKU's father, Nori Sato, who produces his work, about everything from the secrets behind GAKU's creative process to the unique approach incorporated into this exhibition.
002: 63mokko / Musashi Kanda / Wooden Eyeglass Maker
Beautiful curves, incredibly natural colors, and a warm, inviting feel—these are the wooden eyeglasses of Musashi Kanda of "63mokko," who runs a workshop in a single-story building in Tachikawa City. We spoke with him to find out why he started making wooden eyeglasses and how he makes them .
003: Honami Haneda / Aquatic life painter
Honami Haneda is an aquatic life painter. She creates works using various creatures that live in water, the ocean, and near water as her subjects. In addition to pen drawings and wall art, in recent years she has produced many innovative works that raise awareness of environmental issues through mixed media, where she carves Japanese painting materials to create lines, and upcycled art using marine waste.
004: Joji Hayashi / Street Observer
What would you call Joji Hayashi? He writes and draws illustrations. He is a researcher of Meiji culture and a street observer. In his youth, he refused to take over his family's clinic and decided to enroll in Musashino Art University. He met his wife on campus and decided to marry her based on intuition without exchanging a single word. He quit Sanrio, where he had just joined the company, to pursue what he loved to the fullest. He is truly a man of inspiration. In short, Joji Hayashi was born to be Joji Hayashi.
005: Yoshiki Tajima / Tea Master & Medicinal Cuisine Specialist
The elegant aroma and rich flavor are served with graceful and serene movements. The profound taste is so delightful that it will bring a smile to your face. Yoshiki Tajima, a tea master and medicinal cuisine expert, advocates for tea and food pairings while exploring the potential of Japanese tea to be passed on to future generations.
006：井上 亮／写真家
In 2019, I said goodbye to the job I had held for 20 years and started working as a photographer. Having pursued my dreams while working as a race car driver and band member, I became so engrossed in photography that I chose to become a freelancer. It's a journey of self-reflection on life, and a reflection on the joy of living.
