In 1998 this place where Taro and Toshiko Okamoto lived and fought together, was opened to the general public by Toshiko Okamoto as the Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum. While retaining the studio and salon as they were in Taro’s day, 30 exhibitions have been held in the special exhibition gallery over the last seven years.
30 special exhibitions…representing 30 different times that Toshiko has looked at Taro. This exhibition will look back over the 30 special exhibitions that have been held in the Memorial Museum to recapitulate on Toshiko’s concepts and the works that were presented, in order to experience once more Toshiko’s gaze and message.
We hope that you will enjoy the various doorways Toshiko has presented through which we can approach the multifaceted being that was Taro Okamoto.
