Aki Kondo
The second half of Kawabata Ryushi Plus One features contemporary artist Aki Kondo, known for dynamic brushwork and bold colours, alongside nihonga painter Ryushi Kawabata (1885–1966).
Kondo presents new paintings exploring identity, freedom and the tiger as a figure that lives within everyone, alongside works from the Ryutaro Takahashi Collection and drawings of human and animal faces. Kawabata’s works reflect on wartime devastation and postwar hopes for an ideal world. Together, the two artists create a dialogue across generations, bringing new perspectives to the museum. A cardboard stool by Kondo is also displayed in Kawabata’s former studio, offering a glimpse into the space where the artist once worked.
