06/30, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo (From Ehime to the Civic Creative Base Tokyo, Shibuya)

Japanese toys, games and character goods, are to be exhibited in the Brazilian city Sao Paulo. The Japanese oil painter Gyoji Nomiyama passed away last week aged 102. Meanwhile, art exhibitions in the capitol continue unabated, from Christopher L G Hill’s “Turtle” at Goya Curtain, to “Distance from the Incident” at Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, "Shinro Ohtake" at Ehime Museum of Art in Matsuyama (ending Sunday 7/2), and “Tameshigaki” (lignes de vies) an exhibition of paintings by Charles Munka at INS studio, new gallery in Shibuya. Speaking of Shibuya, CCBT, the Civic Creative Base Tokyo, is an art and culture center sponsored by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. It held a press conference yesterday introducing its newest creative director Hideaki Ogawa who spoke with Notebook about the challenges of running such a center in Tokyo. — Substack: notebookpodcast.substack.com Instagram: @notebook_pod Twitter: @notebook_pod — Get in touch: notebook.podcast@gmail.com Leave a message: speakpipe.com/notebook — Learn more about your ad choices.
