Artists

Taro Okamoto
Taro Okamoto produced many works with hands as their motif. He repeatedly created images of hands through various media, such as painting, sculpture, furniture and other products. For Okamoto, the hand, along with the eye, was an important tool for sensing the world around him, a window outwards that connected the world with himself. Okamoto trusted the sensations felt through his own hands and treasured them.

This exhibition proposes an overview of Okamoto's work through the motifs of hands, feet and eyes. I hope viewers will be able to experience something of Okamoto's sensibility, one that strove to see through to the very essence of the world.

(Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum Director Akiomi Hirano)
