■ Message from the Organizer

After relocating to the foothills of the Yatsugatake Mountains, I founded Japan Spirit Co., Ltd. with the desire to share Japanese traditional culture and spirituality with the world through art.

This exhibition marks our very first IZUMO Art Selection – Nine Artists Exhibition. It is a great pleasure to hold it in this ancient Jomon land at the foot of Yatsugatake.

We warmly invite you to experience the unique worlds and creative expressions of each artist at the venue.
