About this exhibition
I have been working as an embroidery artist for about 10 years. Until now, I have not been confined to any particular motif in my work. However, since a cat came to my house about 3 years ago, I have started to doodle only cats. I started to think that I would take some time off and slowly live with this cat. This exhibition will feature drawings that will make you feel at ease.

『岡田龍之介 写真展 【inuru】開催のお知らせ』 / 『Art Exhibition by Ryunosuke Okada has started!』
Growing up in Kumihama, a nature-rich area along the Sea of Japan in Kyoto, the mountains, rivers, and sea became a playground. Even while living in Tokyo, the draw toward mountain adventures, camping, and time spent in nature remains strong. A camera, entrusted by a friend during one of these outings, sparked an interest in photography. Moving between city life and the natural world, moments arise where emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—intersect. Through photography, these fleeting instances, where memories and records merge to sharpen both the visible landscape and the emotions it stirs, can be preserved.

“As a piece of your journey,Trinkets embodying the Japanese soul, transcending time.” In Japan, there is a belief that spirits dwell in objects that have endured for a long time. This spirituality is bonded with Japanese tradition.It acts as a foundation for craftsmen, who make things meant for long-term use.Even in modern times, this spirituality continues.In the world of art, the works of many artists are created as vessels for spirits. This is a celebration where objects and people weave a new story.
Pattern artist, collector of Kwaidan（ghost stories）, and art director. Since childhood, he has been deeply interested in traditional Japanese culture, customs, folklore, and mythology. At the age of 16, he completed the Shikoku Pilgrimage, visiting all eighty-eight temples. Inspired by personal experiences from his travels, reflections on numerous books, encounters with ghost stories, and underground music, he began creating patterns characterized by geometric and intricate linework. In addition to his artistic work, he serves as the producer of the “Cursed Object Festival” exhibition, director of the craft gin company “Fukagawa Distillery,” and art director for TUNE STAY KYOTO.
There were five artists who participated in the gallery.
All of them are artists associated with our hotel group [PIECE]. Jessica and Jeepiyo are hotel staff members of the PIECE group. NIKU and Chris are friends of our staff. YOSHIO KINUGAWA is the grandfather of a staff member.
Each connection created various forms of art. The artists are from different countries, different ages, and different backgrounds.
Please feel a scene from a journey where these unique artists met.
We hope it will be a wonderful boundary of your journey.
