Portugal decorative tiles "Azlejo" with vivid blue coloring on the white background. Haru Ishii, a sculptor who traveled to Portugal to learn traditional techniques, continues to make objects using azulejo, adding the unique sensibilities of Japanese people. How does the old decorative tiles become a contemporary art that colors the space? I will keep the secret through the latest novel. ※To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, the exhibition period, opening hours, event information, etc. may be changed in the future.
