On display at the gallery of Hiroko Koshino, which opened a year ago

While active at the forefront of fashion design, Hiroko Koshino also engages in the creation of ink wash paintings and other artworks. Koshino is also very active as an artist, and opened her gallery, "KH Gallery Ginza," a year ago. Furthermore, in May of this year, she transformed her residence, an early work by Tadao Ando, into "KH Gallery Ashiya."


Within the vast universe, humans, mere small beings, meet, think, act, and create a symbiotic garden together.—The place where people meet is very important, and that is what I consider the "Cosmic Garden."


For Hiroko Koshino, who has experienced countless encounters and opened up new worlds each time, Kuroda's way of thinking resonated deeply. The two quickly hit it off and decided to hold an exhibition together.




What kind of "Cosmic Garden" will artist Aki Kuroda create with his uniquely talented partner, Hiroko Koshino? We want to witness the brilliant spark born from their encounter.
