“Do you believe in ‘Forever’?” is the message currently worked on by AOYAMA, contemporary artist from Meguro City. He is questioning things that are disappearing from society with time. In this Exhibition, we will exhibit works from his early period describing the school he attended in Meguro City to his new works in embroidery, a unique genre of technique in the world of art.
