The official website also sells works online in both Japanese and English, bringing art to people all over the world.
Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art "Le Corbusier: A Synthesis of the Arts 1930-1965"
The architect Le Corbusier (1887\u20121965) described his attempt to connect painting and sculpture under the direction of architecture as "the synthesis of the arts" in the later stages of his career. More than that, "the unity of the arts" was a slogan that expressed his entire view of art, guided by the idealism of unity, harmony and universal laws. Le Corbusier is known worldwide as a master of modern architecture, but he also revolutionized other areas of the visual arts. This exhibition will showcase his paintings, sculptures, drawings and tapestries from the 1930s onwards, as well as the artistic use of new techniques that he continued to seek. By introducing his later architectural works, the exhibition reveals Le Corbusier's mature view of art that goes far beyond the traditional framework. Optimistic and jubilant, these works take us beyond the functionalist image that sums up in his well-known phrase: "A house is a living machine." In addition, by juxtaposing the works of pioneering artists of the same era, such as Léger, Arp, and Kandinsky, his position in the artistic currents of the time is also revealed. This exhibition features German art historian Robert Wojczke as guest curator and explores the origins of the innovative minds of the 20th century.

Suntory Museum of Art "The Shape of Confucianism: A Book of the Mind -Confucianism in Japan Art-"
Confucianism is an ethical philosophy that refers to the teachings advocated by Confucius (552/551~479 BC) in China in the 6th century BC and the interpretation of his successors. The idea advocated by Confucius is that the goal is to approach a saint by practicing and practicing the moral view based on the five senses (benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith), and the ideal image of a human being who rules the world with virtue is ideal. This kind of thinking is said to have been introduced to Japan in the 4th century, earlier than Buddhism, and was enjoyed as a study in ancient imperial courts to learn what a ruler should be. In the Middle Ages, Confucianism was also important in Zen Buddhist temples because the Song Dynasty introduced Zhuzi (a new Confucian philosophy established by Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty) to Japan, and Zen monks eagerly studied it. From the early modern period onward, the Edo shogunate, which was based on the principle of civil rule, actively encouraged Confucianism and developed the Yushima Cathedral as its base. Throughout the Edo period, Confucianism was adopted and widely spread throughout Japan, from samurai families to people and children, regardless of status. For example, while the large-scale "Imperial Charts" and "Twenty-Four Filial Drawings" were produced to represent the ideal monarch and decorate the spaces of rulers, the same idea is also alive in the ukiyo-e prints and patterns of personal crafts held by ordinary people. These works show the ideals of the mind sought by the people of that time, that is, the ideas that serve as a reference, and bring fresh awareness to us today. We hope that this exhibition will be an opportunity to reflect on the rich messages that reside in masterpieces of Japan art, just like the "Onko Chishin" (Knowing the New through Sieving) in the Analects. * In order to protect the work, the exhibition will be changed during the exhibition period.
Minato Science Museum 2024 Autumn Exhibition "Earth Time Journey ~What Can You See from the Stones!?~"

Makeup Culture Gallery "The Aesthetics of the Beginning, Phase 2: The Beginning of Makeup"
In the first year of the opening of the Makeup Culture Gallery, we will introduce makeup culture from three themes with the keyword "beginning". 1st period: May 16, 2024 ~ August 30, 2024 The Beginning of Makeup Culture Research 2nd period: September 5, 2024 ~ December 13, 2024 The beginning of makeup 3rd period: December 19, 2024 ~ March 28, 2025 First makeup Following the first term, "The Beginning of Makeup Culture Research," the second term will focus on "The Beginning of Makeup" and will explore the original makeup. The origin of makeup is ancient, and it is said to be in the Paleolithic period, and traces of people actually wearing makeup and numerous makeup tools have been found in ancient ruins. In this season, we will take up ancient makeup tools and introduce the meaning, purpose, and makeup method of makeup. From our modern point of view, it seems to be simple, humorous, and a little strangely shaped. I hope that it will be a time to think about ancient makeup and get closer to the aesthetic sense of the people of that time. In "Books", we will introduce books under six themes, expanding associations from "origin". When we think about our lives, livelihoods, and society, we think about their origins. In nature, such as water and plants, which give rise to life, and in the act of communication and prayer, which are indispensable for the existence of society. Please use your sensibilities to identify the various origins.
