We are relocating and reinventing our Aoyama shop by bringing together all of our experiences with our exhibition spaces over the past years into a new sensory environment for our visitors to enjoy.
The new shop is closer to the Omotesando Station and stands within easy wandering range of our other Arts & Science shops. We look forward to providing a new haven of encounter, relaxation, and contemplation away from the commotion of modern life.

※ The current store will close on Sunday, October 20th, 2019

For the third time, ARTS&SCIENCE welcomes the glass artist, Kazumi Tsuji for an exhibition from Saturday, October 26th through Monday, November 4th (Japanese national holiday) at our venue, AT THE CORNER. Together with colorful glass pieces, the exhibition will also feature “Rainbowder (border of rainbows)” which aims to see things from various perspectives. This will be the final exhibition for AT THE CORNER.

The artist will be at the venue on Saturday, October 26th. We look forward to seeing you there.

『Five years ago, it was in New York where I sat the Rainbow Parade for the first time. The parade was full of people advocating the idea of “genderless”. Among the participants, there were also quite a number of misogynists, people with handicaps and immigrants. That’s when I realized that the rainbow was the symbol of not only a genderless society but also a determination of the people to create a discrimination-free society. It is nearly 15 years since I have been working with the theme of “color”. My hope is that I would like to slowly tackle the major problem of discrimination through colors and everyday objects like glasses. And for this exhibition, I am taking another step to work on rainbows—but let’s not forget the importance of elements like “kawaii” too. — Kazumi Tsuji』

Takanaka is known for the use of various techniques such as painting and inlaying, but for this exhibition, we will mainly focus on his “nanako”, which uses a graver to hammer small circular patterns on the earthenware. Some patterns will also feature sceneries which the artist saw as he walked through towns and characters he loved when he was a child. Takanaka says that in recent years, he was finally able to fulfill his free expression which transcended many differences. Please don’t miss this occasion to experience his works.

「One early morning, I was reading Li Bai’s poem out loud in my study with the window fully open when a white-eye came to a mulberry tree in front of the window and started pecking on the blackened berries. It was so near that I could almost touch it. But the bird was busy pecking and didn’t seem to mind my voice at all. Leaving my feeling of joy aside, I decided I should be like the bird
and concentrated on Li’s poem.」
《心性無染 本自圓成》 — Kenichi Takanaka

ARTS&SCIENCE brings you two different exhibitions titled “BIG IN JAPAN” and “TRAVELLING WITH TEA” featuring the English potter, Steve Harrison which will take place simultaneously at our venues in Tokyo and Kyoto.

“AT THE CORNER” in Tokyo welcomes the exhibition “BIG IN JAPAN”. The event sheds light on Harrison’s compilation in which he pursued the study of proportion for about two years. We will exhibit Harrison’s works which challenged the question: What will happen if we enlarged each piece according to same proportions? Together with the exhibition, a newspaper-sized catalogue featuring Harrison’s 53 works will also be available for sale.

At “A&S Kyoto Bekkan”, we bring you the exhibition “TRAVELLING WITH TEA” which was held in U.K. at the end of 2018. The event will feature a case which was exclusively created by the U.K. based luggage brand GLOBE-TROTTER uniquely for Harrison and his tea case made to store his tea equipment. The event is the fruit of Harrison’s adventure about travelling with tea, which he has been pursuing for more than 30 years.

A&S will be hosting the long-awaited Harrison’s exhibition which was last held nearly two years ago. Through our exhibitions, visitors will be able to enjoy various works created upon different themes. Harrison will be present on both opening days at our two venues (Friday, April 26th in Tokyo / Sunday, April 28th in Kyoto). We look forward to seeing you there.
