teamLab: Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces | Kitaibaraki
In Iwin, where Okakura Tenshin, a modern Japanese scholar and art critic, lived in his later years, there is an inaccessible mountain along the shore.
Coming out of the deep mountain forest, there is a valley.
There are the remains of rain-fed rice terraces, now a swamp covered with reeds.
They look like secret rice terraces.
Considering the long existence of nature and the continued presence of human activities, we decided to create art works with the remains of rice terraces hidden in the forest.
Then, walking through the forest covering the ruins of rice terraces and investigating the vegetation, we wanted to turn the entire forest covering the ruins of rice terraces into an art space that blends in with the surrounding plants.
teamLab's project Digitized Nature explores how nature can become art. The idea of the project is that immaterial digital technology can turn nature into art without harming it.
The works explore how the existence of these forms can be used to create a place where we can transcend the boundaries of our understanding of the continuity of time and feel the long continuity of life. Using these manifestations of long-term presence, we can try to transcend boundaries and understand the long continuities of time, and how we can continue to accumulate meaning in this place even today.
The Unknown Noritake: A World Born from Co-Creation | Nagoya
Noritake was founded in 1904 (Meiji 37) with the aim of manufacturing dinner sets for export. A dinner set is a set of tableware with a set size and purpose for the number of people. Since successfully manufacturing such sets in 1914 (Taisho 3), the company has developed and sold shapes and patterns to meet market needs.
At times, the company has sought added value beyond the tableware's original function and design in order to provide products that are in line with the times.
This trend accelerated after the period of high economic growth. When consumers had the financial means to spend on interior design, Noritake sold ceramic reproductions of works by painters, calligraphers, and illustrators. In the mid-1960s, when the penetration rate of black-and-white televisions exceeded 90%, the company also began to produce melamine children's tableware decorated with characters from anime and puppet shows.
The 1970s marked an era of fashion and diversification of everyday items. Noritake, which places emphasis on developing high-value-added products that add color to life, began manufacturing and selling tableware in 1977 in collaboration with a famous fashion designer. This was the beginning of the boom in designer and character products in the ceramics industry. This led to an increase in design collaborations and joint development with artists and other companies.
In recent years, with the growth of content businesses such as manga and anime, the needs and target demographics of character products have expanded. The expansion of sales networks with the spread of online services has increased consumers' options, and products are increasingly required to have value other than functionality and a story. Against this backdrop, collaborations that utilize the mutual advantages of companies are not uncommon.
During its long history, Noritake has cultivated the technology to commercialize high-quality models with rich colors and delicate patterns. Enjoy the world of co-creation created by sharing the desire to utilize this to deliver products that resonate with your heart.

Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival | Kawazu
The Kawazu Sakura Festival is the earliest cherry blossom festival in eastern Japan. While most places on Honshu have to wait until mid-March for the flowers to bloom, the Kawazu trees bloom a month earlier. This makes the Kawazu Sakura Festival, which runs from February 2 to the end of February, very popular with visitors who are looking forward to the end of winter, the return of milder weather and spring scenery.
The Kawazu trees bloom a month earlier than most places
During the festival, the number of visitors exceeds 1 million per year
The large petals of the Kawazu trees are a vivid pink, making them perfect for photo ops
The festival spans from Kawazu Town to Mine Onsen, with the focus being the banks of the Kawazu River. Food stalls are set up along the streets along the river, where you can also buy local handicrafts and souvenirs.
Various events are held to entertain and delight festival-goers, and at night the cherry trees are lit up with beautiful illuminations. Kawazu-cho is crowded with people because of the train station, so if you want to enjoy the fleeting cherry blossoms in peace, walk up the river to Mine Onsen.
BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ | Osaka International Convention Center (Grand Cube Osaka)
Iiyama Snow Festival | Iiyama
The Iiyama Snow Festival has been running for four decades and was originally born out of an idea to try to revitalize this rather rural area of Nagano. Rather than viewing the area's heavy snowfall as a burden, it is viewed as a resource, transformed into incredible snow sculptures for visitors to enjoy.
Impressive, large-scale snow sculptures fill the main event venue (Municipal Johoku field), with other, smaller works filling the streets of the city center. The hope behind the festival is that it can become a jumping-off point for excursions out of the city, so be sure to take some time to explore the other attractions while you're in the area.

30th Anniversary of the Opening of the Museum Ryudai Takano Kasbaba | Tokyo Photographic Art Museum
Ryudai Takano (1963-) is a photographer and artist who won the 31st Kimura Ihei Photography Award for his photo book "IN MY ROOM" (2005) and continues to work both in Japan and abroad. In addition to his works on the theme of sexuality, such as "IN MY ROOM," Takano also takes snapshots of everyday life, such as "Daily Photos" and "Kasubaba." Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, he has also been working on the theme of exploring the origins of photography, using "shadows" as a subject. The title of this exhibition, "Kasubaba," is a word coined by Takano and is the plural of the word for a place like kas (ba). We live in the midst of rapid change in the times, with large-scale natural disasters, global epidemics of infectious diseases, environmental destruction and urban development due to economic development. Takano accepts reality, which is not just beautiful, and presents the viewer with raw images of weak and ugly things as they are. Through Takano's works, we will be able to see anew the richness and chaos of the everyday life we live in, something that is familiar to us but that we do not look closely at. We hope that this exhibition, which surveys Takano's career, including works shown for the first time, will provide some hints for surviving this everyday life, from which it is becoming increasingly difficult to see an exit.

Mini exhibit: "Research using plant specimens" | Osaka Museum of Natural History
Natural history specimens stored in museum storage are fundamental materials for understanding nature. Osaka Museum of Natural History holds approximately 2 million items, of which approximately 400,000 are plant specimens. These specimens are used by various researchers every day, and after extensive examination, the results are published as papers. For many people, the use of these specimens in research is probably something far removed from their imagination. This time, we will be exhibiting plant specimens held by Osaka Museum of Natural History that have actually been used in research, along with the results of that research, in the hope that many people will become aware of the excitement of research using specimens.
Kuromaru Kenichi: How did you come into this world? | Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art
How are we born into this world, and what is our purpose in life?
In today's world, conflicts and divisions caused by fear of others we do not understand never end, from wars to familiar conflicts. Our actions, such as traveling, meeting different people, and talking to people with different views, are a way to bridge these divisions and make each of us happy, and perhaps this is the meaning of being born into this world.
The exhibition will feature works by artists active around the world, including works from the Taguchi Art Collection, one of Japan's leading contemporary art collections, and works from the Hirosaki Brick Warehouse Art Museum.

Monet: The Late Waterscapes | The National Museum of Western Art
Claude Monet (1840-1926), one of the leading painters of the Impressionists, captured the vicissitudes of nature on his canvas with a keen eye that caught a moment of light. In later years, however, his art was transformed into more abstract and internal images.
Monet's later years were also a time when he faced many challenges, such as the death of a beloved family member, his own eye disease, and the First World War. In such a situation, the source of his greatest creativity was the water lily pond built in the garden of his residence in Giverny, where the surrounding trees, sky, and light are reflected as one. And the idea of a "large decorative painting" that covers the walls of the room with a huge canvas depicting this subject would occupy Monet's mind until his very end. At the center of this exhibition is a number of large-scale "water lilies" created through this process of trial and error.
This time, about 50 works from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris will be exhibited for the first time in Japan, including many important works. In addition, works from various collections in Japan will be added to introduce the pinnacle of Monet's late art. It will be a valuable opportunity for the largest "water lilies" ever to gather in Japan.
Augustus John and His Times: Modern British Art from the Matsukata Collection | The National Museum of Western Art
British art from the turn of the century is often introduced in terms of its lineage with the Pre-Raphaelites or its relationship with Aestheticism and Symbolism, but inspired by the development of modern French painting, various movements arose in which young artists sought to create new environments for their work. The New English Art Club was founded in 1886 in opposition to the Royal Academy of Arts, which dominated the art world, the Camden Town Group was formed in 1911 in response to the Academy's conservatism, and the Newlyn School, which formed an artists' colony in a fishing village in Cornwall. In these movements, we can see responses to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, as well as a backlash against London's rapid urbanization and industrialization.
A way of life that connects what you love ~ Earth in play ~ | Felissimo Chocolate Museum
Pastry chef Koyama Susumu will be featuring ten chocolate dinosaurs created specifically for this exhibition.
As a child, Koyama was engrossed in playing with insects and clay in nature, and after becoming a pastry chef he learned professionally about the properties of chocolate - how it hardens, melts, and how it briefly becomes clay-like before melting when crushed at high speed - and how to handle it.
However, Koyama says that he was able to create dinosaurs as a pastry chef without any special training, because his body remembers the things he loved, and that everyone has had childhood experiences that they were passionate about and that continue to influence them to the present.
This exhibition will allow visitors to see dinosaurs that Koyama has completed by kneading, as well as the masks he has favored making in recent years.
Yayoi Kusama: I WOULD OVERCOME DEATH AND GO ON LIVING | Yayoi Kusama Museum
Yayoi Kusama has constantly faced the critical realities of life and death as pressing issues. Her experience of the Pacific War in a complex family environment, along with her overcoming of suicidal impulses triggered by trauma and neurosis through her creative practices, has influenced her perception of these issues. This exhibition unveils Kusama’s evolving outlook on life and death, alongside the corresponding shifts in her artistic presentation, through a series of diverse works—from her 1940s and 1950s paintings, which bear the imprint of war, to her very latest pieces. After relocating to the United States in 1957, Kusama gained a reputation for her net paintings and sculptures that embody ‘self-obliteration’: the feeling of losing the boundary between the self and the other through the obsessive repetition of motifs originating from her hallucinations. In her anti-war happenings in the late 1960s, she painted dots onto the human body using the same concept of ‘self-obliteration’ while also highlighting the beauty of life and the human body. During the 1970s and 80s, following the loss of her father and her lover, as well as her return to Japan due to health issues, Kusama produced numerous dark-toned collages and three-dimensional works centered on the theme of death, as well as poetry and novels imbued with a sense of mortality. As she continued creating fantastical works exploring death and the afterlife, her works from the late 1980s began to explore themes of transmigration and cyclical returns to eternity through ‘self-obliteration’. Kusama’s works, which increasingly incorporated more colors, reveal how her creative process evolved from a means of coping with death to becoming synonymous with her very existence. In her painting series from 2000 onwards, Kusama has been relentlessly depicting the beauty of life and the joy of living on canvases overflowing with vibrant colors, driven by the ever-looming presence of her own death.
