Wako’s Arts & Culture space in Ginza will present the “Irosabi” exhibition from August 1 to 20, 2025. Curated by Tefutefu—a cultural project led by creative director Hikari Mori—the show reflects on the aesthetics of Japanese living by reinterpreting tradition, memory, and craft through the lens of color.

The exhibition expands upon the “Irosabi” theme previously presented in Los Angeles, now reimagined for its Japan debut. Set in Tokyo’s Ginza district, where the boundaries between nature and city blur, the show invites viewers to contemplate color as a trace of time embedded in materials. “Irosabi” celebrates a quiet beauty—one that emerges from the subtle hues found in aged objects, weathered surfaces, and the passage of time.

Tefutefu defines “Irosabi” as a sensibility that honors how time transforms the color and texture of things. It speaks to the fleeting brilliance of a moment, born from the intimate connection between people, objects, and their environment.

On view will be works by artisans and artists who breathe new life into traditional crafts through contemporary perspectives. In celebration of the first anniversary of the Arts & Culture space, the exhibition also features returning collaborators who have worked closely with Wako over the past year. This intimate and thoughtfully curated project could only have come to life in a space where sensibility and culture converge.

Exhibitors include:

Housai Matsubayashi XVI (Asahiyaki), Eocene Arts, Okurayama Studio, Masaru Kawai, Gen Taniguchi, Yukari Hirotani, Sarasa Yoshioka, Ryuta Fukumura, Ryan Schnirel, and Tefutefu
