Toraya Akasaka Gallery Special Exhibition "Paris where Japanese sweets meet"
Forty-five years ago, in 1980, Toraya opened a store in Paris with the desire to introduce Japan culture overseas through Japanese sweets. In the beginning, little was known about Japan, and some people mistook yokan for black soap due to cultural differences, but now many of the customers who come are local French people. In this exhibition, we will look back on the history of the Paris store and introduce the various initiatives that have been made to convey Japanese sweets to the world. In addition, Japan and France are countries with completely different climates and histories, but they have in common that their own confectionery cultures were born and blossomed. By comparing the history of Japanese and French confectionery and event confectionery, you can enjoy discovering the differences between them and surprising similarities. Please take a look at the cultural exchange between Japan and France spun by confectionery.

What do you do then? Exhibition – Looking at the Future of Disaster Prevention –
From July 4, 2025, 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT will hold a special exhibition titled "What to Do Then?" The exhibition director is the visual design studio WOW. We don't know for sure when and where natural disasters will occur. Some people may have a disaster prevention bag on a daily basis, while others may try not to think about it too much. No matter how much you imagine it, you will not know the moment when you lose your normal daily life unless you actually face it. However, it is a fact that we in Japan, which is known as a disaster-prone country, cannot remain untouched. By not turning away from the existence of disasters that we don't want to think about too much, but by reconsidering how we perceive them, we will be able to see what we should do now and what we should think about. From the perspective of what a disaster is in the first place, this exhibition will take a broad look at the natural disasters that people have faced, such as understanding the real situation such as data visualization of earthquakes and flood damage, products related to disaster prevention, and projects born in the wake of disasters. In addition, we will unravel how to face disasters from the past, the present, and the future, such as legends about disasters that remain in various regions and research that looks at future possibilities. There are several "questions" scattered throughout the venue. Depending on the situation, there is no single answer. The correct answer may vary from person to person. However, if you imagine in advance, see and hear the answers of those close to you, and do not expect the moment, the future may change a little. Why don't you start preparing yourself for something new? Dates: July 4 – November 3, 2025 Closed: Tuesdays (except September 23) Opening Hours: 10:00–19:00 (Admission until 18:30) *Roppongi Art Night Special Opening Hours: September 26 (Fri) and 27 (Sat) 10:00–22:00 (Admission until 21:30) Admission: Adults 1,600 yen, University students 800 yen, High school students 500 yen, Junior high school students and younger free *To purchase tickets online, please see the URL below or the QR code on the right. https://artsticker.app/events/76991 Venue: 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 1 & 2 Access: 〒107-0052 Tokyo Midtown Midtown Midtown Garden 9-7-6 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo Tel. 03-3475-2121 www.2121designsight.jp Toei Subway Oedo Line "Roppongi" Station, Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line "Roppongi" Station, 5 minutes walk from Nogizaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line
