Artwork exhibition

This exhibition captures fleeting moments of light and shadow on traditional handmade Tango Washi—paper born from the natural beauty of northern Kyoto.

Each work reflects Japan’s timeless landscapes and invites viewers into a meditative space where presence speaks louder than words.

Nature does not explain itself—it simply exists.
Through layers of texture and light absorbed by washi fibers, the invisible becomes perceptible:
the breath of wind, the soundless presence of stillness, and the subtle memory of air.

May each viewer rediscover their own “inner landscape” within this silent scenery.

This art festival commemorates the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and South Korea.
It is jointly organized by the K-JIAF Organizing Committee and the Japan Kyoto Art Festival Cooperation Committee (JARFO),
with support from the Korean Cultural and Tourism Ministry, the Korean Cultural Center of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea,
the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan, the Korean Residents Union in Japan (Mindan), and many Japanese corporations.

The primary aim of this art festival is to promote the sale of artworks by participating artists.

On this occasion, Tsukasa Kataoka has been officially invited to participate by the Kyoto Cultural Museum.

This fifth exhibition will feature many works created like paintings by members studying at Azure, using a computer based on photographs taken with a camera. The themes are “Plum” and “Scenery of Kohoku.

This is an annual exhibition featuring works by Kansai-based members who have honed their skills through classes at Studio Azure.

We hope many people will come and enjoy the artworks. Please visit the venue!

At the annual “Nagahama Bonbai Exhibition” held at Keiunkan (Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture), we will showcase a collaborative display featuring bonsai plum trees that are several hundred years old.

Six large folding screen artworks will be exhibited.
