Set in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, a space where tradition and contemporary sensibilities intersect, enveloped in the fresh greenery of early summer.

Once the former private residence of master Japanese painter Takeuchi Seihō, “THE SODOH HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO” is a celebrated architectural landmark where rich nature and history continue to breathe.

Within this distinguished setting, we are pleased to present a special pop-up exhibition featuring a curated selection of outstanding artists from the award recipients of the 3rd and 4th Japan Wabunka Grand Prix, individuals who are at the forefront of contemporary Japanese craftsmanship.

From lacquer art, bamboo craft, ceramics, to textile dyeing and weaving, the highest level of skill and aesthetic sensibility resonates with the historic atmosphere of SODOH, creating a once-in-a-lifetime encounter between art and space.

We invite you to immerse yourself in a world composed of carefully selected art pieces, where refined beauty unfolds in harmony with history.
