Period: April 20–26, 2023
Venue: Ueno Royal Museum, Annex Gallery

My first solo exhibition at the Ueno Royal Museum was a major show that took two years of preparation, built around the slogan “I want to save a thousand people.” In the end, it drew an incredible 2,000 visitors—a truly remarkable achievement.

To coincide with the exhibition, I also released my new art book “Kumpu –薫風–”. During the exhibition period, I held artist talks and book signings, where I had the great joy of personally handing out this freshly published book to many attendees.
