At MEGUMI OGITA GALLERY, a solo exhibition "Tree of Life" by wood carving artist Nio Tsuchiya (Yoshimasa Tsuchiya) is being held at Ginza 2-chome, the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building (1st floor is Natural Lawson).
It seems that this will be the 5th time this event will be held here.
The works on display will be holy beasts such as lions, kirin and phoenixes, and phantom beasts.
Even though none of them are legendary creatures that are not in reality, you can feel a mysterious vitality and presence from a slight twist of the body and a glaring expression.
But it is mysterious, divine, and elegant.
Lighting with spotlights is also effective.
This is an exhibition where you can feel the theme of "Tree of Life" firmly when you look at the exhibited works.
From a living tree, I had time to learn the illusion of a work (animal) carved by Tsuchiya was given life.
The photo above 
and below
shows a phoenix that clearly shows that it was excavated from a base tree. It's wonderful.
The event will be held from Friday, November 18 to December 24 (Sat).
Days, moons and public holidays are closed.
In addition, we received special consent 
for photography in the gallery. Thank you very much.
