Janu Tokyo x Jean Jullien: "The Guests"

From July 1 through September 30, 2026, Janu Tokyo in Azabudai Hills transforms into a vibrant, gallery-like space for "The Guests," an exclusive summer collaboration with renowned French artist Jean Jullien. Designed to spark curiosity and joy during the hot summer months, the hotel seamlessly integrates Jullien's iconic "Paper People" — ten colorful, flat and delightfully quirky character installations placed throughout the property. Visitors are invited to explore the public spaces, discovering nine distinct figures scattered across locations like the main reception, Janu Mercato and the boutique, while a tenth character awaits exclusively in the private pool area for staying guests.

Tokyo Photographic Art Museum Collection: Tomorrow’s Dining Table

The act of eating is inseparable from the act of living, acting as a powerful lens that brings our personal memories and social ties into sharp focus. The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum explores this profound relationship in “Tomorrow’s Dining Table,” the latest installment of its ongoing TOP Collection series.

I’m So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers Exhibition

Internationally, Japanese photography has been represented largely by men — Moriyama, Araki, Sugimoto. This exhibition sets out to rethink and expand that canon. Built around a 2024 book of the same name, edited by Pauline Vermare and Lesley A. Martin, it gathers Japanese women photographers who have shaped the medium since the 1950s.

Marking two decades since the media art pioneer’s passing, Watarium is taking a deep look back at his legacy.

Urs Fischer: Spot the Difference

Urs Fischer’s works move between high culture and kitsch, the permanent and the fleeting, the serious and the absurd — often within the same piece. “Spot the Difference,” his first exhibition at Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo, takes its cue from the gallery itself: a finished space upstairs, an unfinished sub-basement below. The split became a way to think about the conscious and unconscious mind. Upstairs, two life-size wax self-portraits face each other through a roughly cut hole in the wall. Lit on opening day, they are slowly melting over the course of the show before being recast and begun again. Downstairs, Rorschach-like wallpaper of concrete holes and patches wraps the entire space, populated with painted bronze sculptures and drawings. Born in Zurich in 1973, Fischer lives and works in Los Angeles. The exhibition marks the first showing of his Candle portraits in Japan.

Monsters by Monsters: Now and Then - Pop Mart Exhibition

Pop Mart will hold an exhibition celebrating 10th years of "The Monsters," the series that includes the globally popular character Labubu.

Andrew Wyeth: Boundaries or Windows

Born in 1917, Andrew Wyeth is widely considered one of America’s most beloved painters. While many artists of his time were chasing bold new movements like Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, Wyeth went his own way; he stayed close to home, painting the people, houses and fields he knew best in rural Pennsylvania and coastal Maine. But his paintings are never just pretty pictures of the countryside. Look closely, and you’ll find something deeper — everyday moments charged with feeling, memory and a sense of life’s fragility. Wyeth had a particular fascination with windows, doors and other thresholds. These ordinary details became something more in his hands: gentle reminders of the line between the familiar and the unknown, between life and what lies beyond.

Matsumoto Yoko: The Day I Saw The Evening Star

Yoko Matsumoto, who turned 90 this May, has been painting for more than 60 years. Yet remarkably, this is the first time a museum is celebrating her breathtaking canvases with a large-scale solo show. These extraordinary paintings are at once delicate and dynamic; hazy, ethereal washes of color drift and pile up like clouds until the canvas seems to vibrate with energy. The surface seems to fluctuate constantly, never quite settling. Matsumoto’s approach grew out of a year she spent in late-1960s America, where she discovered acrylic paint and raw, unprimed cotton canvas. In the 2000s, she turned to oil paint, working in rich greens, blacks and blues. The show gathers 35 paintings and 15 drawings, curated with help from the artist herself, spanning her earliest work from the late 1950s to brand-new works shown here for the first time. Many are vast, with lengths spanning over 2 meters. *Although the Fuchu Art Museum is not in central Tokyo, it’s not difficult to access; Fuchu Station is roughly 25 minutes by train from Shinjuku, and the museum is a short bus ride away. The museum is set within the peaceful greenery of Fuchu-no-Mori Park, which makes for a pleasant visit in its own right.

Daniel Buren: Situated Works 1966-2013

Daniel Buren has spent more than 60 years working with one thing: a vertical stripe, 8.7 centimeters wide, white alternating with color. He first spotted the pattern on a bolt of ordinary striped fabric in the mid-1960s, and it has been central to his work ever since. Buren has called the stripe “an invariable sign” in a world that never stops changing — a fixed point for looking at everything else. You’ll find his signature stripes in galleries, museums and streets all over the world, most famously on the black-and-white cylindrical columns at the Palais Royal in Paris. This show brings together pieces from the 1960s and 1980s alongside more recent ones from the 2010s. The former includes “Peinture aux Formes Variables” (1966), made not long after Buren found his striped material. The recent pieces trade paint for light — cloth woven with optical fiber and LEDs, made with manufacturers in Lyon, a city known for textiles.*Please note that some exhibits will be changed during the course of this exhibition. During the first half of the exhibition period, the series Fibres Optiques (2013), composed of optical fiber incorporating LEDs, will be on display. In the second half, the rare 6.5-hour film Beyond Time, as Far as the Eye Can See (2018) will be screened.

Yohei Chimura: They Stand, Once More, Before the Next Name

When you look into one of Yohei Chimura’s glass works, you’ll see specks of silver suspended in their clear depths: grains of tin sealed inside the glass while both were still molten. The glass itself looks caught mid-movement, its surface rippling and breaking off as though it cooled in an instant.Sealing tin inside glass usually isn’t possible, since two materials that cool at different rates tend to crack apart. In his series The Experiment on the Origin, Chimura works right at that breaking point, letting gravity, heat and spin pull the metal through the glass in unpredictable ways.The exhibition also wraps the entire gallery in a skin of transparent vinyl, another material reshaped by heat, turning the whole room into one continuous piece about how matter meets, responds and settles.

Glad We Came - Nodoka Yamaura Exhibition

Eric Carle: Art, Books and the Caterpillar

Few picture books have been loved by as many children as The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Created by American author Eric Carle, it has been translated into more than 70 languages and passed down through generations. At its heart is a simple but memorable message: a tiny caterpillar nibbles its way through the world and grows into a beautiful butterfly. It’s a story about hope, change and becoming who you’re meant to be. Marking the 50th anniversary of the book’s Japanese publication, this exhibition brings together around 180 works, including precious original illustrations and handmade “book dummies” that show how Carle’s ideas first took shape on paper. You’ll also see early pieces from his days as a graphic designer — the foundation for the playful, interactive picture books he would later become famous for.

Yukio Mishima and Pier Paolo Pasolini: Clues for a Confrontation — Without Silence, Without Looking Away

'Strata in Gestation' Exhibition Curated by Yoshitomo Nara

Yoshitomo Nara steps into the role of guest curator at Kosaku Kanechika for “Strata in Gestation,” an exhibition that bypasses traditional craft boundaries to explore the primitive, sculptural possibilities of ceramics. Here, Nara brings together roughly 30 works by four stylistically distinct Japanese artists — Eiji Uematsu, Takuro Kuwata, Chinoko Sakamoto and Masaomi Yasunaga — whose physical, tactile creations deliberately reject technical perfection.

Richard Mwizerwa: ‘We Don’t Recall a Horizon’

Richard Mwizerwa, a visual artist based in Kigali, Rwanda, builds his paintings around the tiny, easily missed details of the earth — patterns in tree bark, the changing light or the way soil looks under morning fog. His debut solo exhibition in Tokyo gathers a collection of abstract, heavily textured pieces inspired by these subtle transformations in nature.

Grand Van Gogh Exhibition

Soetsu Yanagi and Nihon Mingeikan

In 1926, three friends — Soetsu Yanagi, Kanjiro Kawai and Shoji Hamada — set out to found a new kind of museum, based on the word they had just coined: mingei, meaning “folk craft.” At the time, the idea that everyday objects made by unknown craftspeople held aesthetic value just like fine art was quite revolutionary. Ten years later, in 1936, that vision became tangible when the Japan Folk Crafts Museum (Mingeikan) opened its doors.This exhibition marks two milestones at once: a century since that founding prospectus and 90 years since the museum itself opened. Visitors can trace the long road to that opening and follow Yanagi’s vision — from his designs for the building to the objects he collected and the remarkable care he took with every detail, down to the cases, the wallpaper and the light.

Western-Style Architecture in Japan Exhibition

The opening of Japan’s long-closed borders in the final years of the Edo period sparked a torrential influx of Western culture that fundamentally altered the nation’s identity. The exhibition’s narrative begins with the early giyofu (pseudo-Western) architecture of the Meiji era, where Edo-period master carpenters built delightfully idiosyncratic, hybridized structures — like the iconic Tsukiji Hotel — by mimicking foreign styles based largely on observation.

Rina Banerjee: "You made me leave home…

This exhibition, which marks the 20th anniversary of Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo and a decade of the Fondation’s international “Hors-les-murs” program, features 19 works that explore the fluid nature of identity. A highlight of the show is a monumental installation inspired by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in Eighty Days, featuring a massive dome from which a cascade of objects is suspended.

Picasso, Through the Eyes of Paul Smith

Pablo Picasso never settled into a single way of seeing. He moved restlessly — from the deep blues of grief to the splintered geometry of cubism, into ceramics, sculpture, theater and the unflinching protest of “Guernica.”This exhibition looks at all of that through an unexpected lens. British designer Paul Smith, drawing on the collection of the Musée national Picasso-Paris, has designed the layout himself — and the result is full of color and small, delightful surprises. Around 80 works, including “Portrait of a Man” from the Blue Period and “Paul as Harlequin,” unfold in a loose, easy chronology rather than a strict progression.It builds on “Picasso Celebration: The Collection in a New Light!” — the 2023 Paris show marking 50 years since the artist’s death — now traveling internationally, reimagined here as a space that feels playful, personal and alive.

Ron Mueck Exhibition

Ron Mueck, a contemporary artist, will hold an exhibition at the Mori Art Museum with figurative sculptures that reflect life and mortality.

Artists at the Café: From the Impressionists, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec to Picasso

Takiguchi Shuzo: Writing and Drawing

This exhibition poses a fundamental question: for a man who spent a lifetime engaging with the world through the written word, what did it mean to suddenly communicate through lines, watercolor and ink? This show marks the first major public unveiling of the Ishibashi Foundation’s recently acquired Takiguchi collection, putting roughly 80 of his experimental, multimedia works on display.

Scenery of a Refreshing Breeze: Victorian Paintings and French Impressionism

By pairing Victorian-era British painters with French Impressionist pioneers, the exhibition offers a soothing look back at natural landscapes and human life just as the modern world was beginning to accelerate. On the British side, you’ll find idyllic, detailed landscapes by Benjamin Williams Leader alongside gentle portraits by Charles Edward Perugini — images that offered 19th-century viewers a peaceful escape from urban sprawl. On the French side, the works displayed trace the birth of Impressionism itself.
