MMAT has been forming a unique series of collections since its opening, shedding light on the works by artists closely related to Meguro. The spotlight is mainly on the works by Japanese artists who studied or who played an active role in the international art scene. Since MMAT is holding partly simultaneously “Daily Joy 2021 – by Artists with Disabilities in Meguro”, we will display in this Exhibition “MMAT Collection” the selected works under the theme of “Daily Joy.”
Chapter 1 “Colorful”
Brilliant colors and rich colors
It makes our hearts dance and excites us.

The light line drawn with a swoosh is
I feel comfortable.

It also visually produces brightness and color. Light gives us hope.
Chapter 4 “Laughter, humor, and play“

Chapter 5 “Kawaii“
KUSAMA Yayoi,Pumpkin(Yellow),1982,silkscreen on papar,1984 / Meguro Museum of Art,Tokyo Collection
Small animals, children, etc.
Cute things soothe people's hearts.
In recent years, it has also become a keyword for Japanese culture.
It came to be used.
Chapter 6 “We are all alive“
IKEDA Masuo,Ladies Sunbathing,1962,drypoint, aquatint on papar / Meguro Museum of Art,Tokyo Collection
Even in casual everyday life
There are moments that I find wonderful.
The air that I took off the mask for a moment and breathed in the corona.
The comfort of hot water in the shower after sweating.
