IBASHO is delighted to announce the Summer exhibition for 2020 which will be a group exhibition on the concept of ‘wabi sabi’.

Wabi sabi as an aesthetic concept is generally described as a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. A beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional.

The exhibition Wabi Sabi is an invitation to explore the elements of wabi sabi in the photographic works of 9 Japanese artists and 3 non-Japanese artists.

And since wabi sabi is closely connected to the tea ceremony (chado), IBASHO has included 2 Japanese ceramic artists, who not only have made matcha bowls but also vases. We are excited to introduce Naoko Sano and Shingo Ohira and to announce that their work can be seen at IBASHO for a longer period of time.

Artists: Mika Horie, Keiichi Ito, Miho Kajioka, Nobuyuki Kobayashi, Naohira Ninomiya, Naoyuki Ogino, Norio Takasugi, Motohiro Takeda, Akiko Takizawa, Albarran Cabrera, Casper Faassen, Margaret Lansink, Naoko Sano, Shingo Ohira
