Works from the museum's collection will be on display, with 4 different themes.
1.The Origin of Light: Centering on work by Yuichi Takahashi, this exhibition explores how modern Japanese yoga painters visualized light on their canvases, while also examining issues of backlighting and haloes by comparing and contrasting outdoor and indoor views.
2."The Gospel of Light/ The Flickering of the Retina": Displaying 3 works by Natsuyuki Nakanishi, this exhibition provides a visual experience where a plant-like retinal network twines together and then unravels again. Works by Masato Kobayashi, filled with the virtuous gospel of light, are on view also.
