Ginza Gallery's Beautiful Diversity Exhibition at Park Hotel Tokyo
The Ginza Gallery's "Utsuro Yuku Diversity Exhibition" hosted by Park Hotel Tokyo is being held from May 16 to November 13 (Sun). There is an atrium of Park Hotel Tokyo on the 25th floor of Shiodome Media Tower Joint Communication Building, a skyscraper in Shiodome, and a lot of works are exhibited on this floor.
I watched slowly twice, around 11:00 after the check-out of the guests on weekdays and around 2:00 before check-in.
Get off the elevator on the 25th floor, measure the temperature and disinfect your hands at the entrance of the atrium, and you will be greeted by statues of iron "wind god" and "thunder god". There is a very humorous face, a “bag that blows out the wind” that shows its characteristics, and a “taiko drum that roars and thunder behind thunder”. (Please actually visit and appreciate the real thing.)
Park Hotel Tokyo's initiative "Murokai" hospitality
At the elevator, get a booklet with four A4 sizes, eight pages of photos and commentary. At the beginning of this booklet, a greeting from Park Hotel Tokyo is written as follows.
"At Park Hotel Tokyo, guests are welcomed with the hospitality of "Shiken", one of Japan's aesthetic senses through art. As one of these initiatives, we hold an exhibition ARTcolours that expresses the four seasons of Japan. The exhibition in the summer and autumn of 2022 will be started by Ginza Gallery's voluntary organization "Ginza Gallerys". Eight volunteer galleries from about 40 houses will line up their outstanding works and color the hotel's atrium. (Hereinafter referred to as “Submission”)
Before and after the appreciation, there is a restaurant bar and a collaboration menu, so you can enjoy it.

Introducing a little bit of the work
I went to appreciate twice on July 22 and August 26.
When I looked at it slowly and read the explanation of the work carefully, I realized what the artist wanted to convey.
In the middle of this work is "wa" exhibited by Galari Ueda. The artist's name is Rensui. It is a polite, dreamy work of art with many gems and butterflies scattered on the bright ink mark.
The work on the right side is the work on display. The work above is "Jumping Horse", the work below is "Family Elephant", and the work by Junji Kawashima, exhibited by Nagai Gallery. From the two works, I was happy to see a sense of dynamism and a close family.
We will introduce the work with photos that have been licensed by Ginza Gallerys.
The seven works on the left are Takeshi Sato's work at "Four Seasons" exhibited by Gallery Ueda. In a single picture, young leaves, "sunflowers" that bloomed in the prime of summer, and autumn leaves are also depicted. I felt that it was truly a "depressing diversity exhibition".
The work below is the work of Muromaiko, exhibited by Gallery Arai Tokyo, and is la mañana (morning). You can see the sun rising from behind the tree in the middle. In my mind, there was a landscape of a rural village in Mexico.
Muromaiko's lovely and cute work
Muromaiko makes not only fairy taletic paintings but also animals you can see with pottery. In addition to these, cute tigers and lions were also on display. The fact that many work names are displayed in Spanish is that I thought I had studied abroad experience. I thought he was a versatile and diverse artist. (I heard that you have stayed in Mexico.)
The exhibition will be held at Gallery Arai Tokyo.
The Kichicho series and SKY series are smiling
The three on the right side of this group are Tsujimoto Koki's works exhibited by Yasushiyama Gallery.
From the top, it is the Yoshicho Sogo Red and White Whale Map-Rakuyo-, the Yoshicho White Dragon Red Cloud Map, the Yoshicho Red and White Tiger Map-Aya-.
In the Yoshicho Sogo Red and White Whale Map, it seems that a pair of whales is dancing a line dance, and the fun has been transmitted.
The three works "SKY" on the left are also works by Ikushi Ikejiri, who was exhibited by Yasushiyama Gallery.
From the above two works, I felt the Andromeda Nebula and the large cosmos. The work at the bottom looked up at the night sky from the night road with a sense of life, and I felt very close. However, in the picture, you can see a mermaid-like figure on the white part.
There are many other wonderful works on display, and I'm going to go to appreciate it again.
