Seiichi Shirai
Seiichi Sirai(1905-1983) was a unique architect who made a strong impression in postwar Japan. Throughout his lifetime, he continually revealed profound works that seemed to sound a warning bell against the state of the time as Japan hurtled toward its future as a mass society.
Part I of the exhibition will provide an overview of Sirai’s work, from his early wooden architecture to the monumental creations of his later years. It will also focus on his personal and cultural networks in search of a new portrait of the architect.
In Part 2, the Shoto Museum of Art building (itself a leading representation of work from Sirai’s twilight years) will be “unveiled” after transforming it to how it looked at its opening in 1981. Visitors will be also to experience the sense of spaciousness and light that Sirai was able to create within the limited confines of the site.
Part 1: Chronicle of Sirai Seiichi October 23 (Sat.)－December 12 (Sun.), 2021
Part 2: Back to 1981– Museum Unveiling January 4 (Tue.)－ January 30 (Sun.), 2022
※Reservations are required only on weekends, holidays, and during the final week of each part of the exhibition (Part 1: 12/7-12/12, Part 2: 1/25-1/30).
