An exhibition consisting of glass tableware, still-life paintings, and photographs by Japanese and Swedish artists. In 2018, at the initiative of Yoko Andersson Yamano, a glass artist living in Sweden, the Glass Tableware in Still Life project started, in which 18 painters painted still-life paintings of glass tableware made by Yamano. Using an old and familiar daily material of glass as a medium, Yamano and the painters from various cultural backgrounds engaged in a dialogue through words and images to create their works. 

The exhibition is composed of glass tableware, still-life paintings, and photographs taken in the artists' studios by photographer Sambe Masahiro. It weaves each of the artists' stories throughout the exhibition space.

Four times a year, the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery introduces the work of artists from Japan and abroad through special exhibitions on a wide range of themes including painting, sculpture, photography, video, design, fashion, and architecture. The Terada Collection, which was donated by Mr. Kotaro Terada (1927-2018), contains post-war artwork including work by father and son, Tatsuoki and Fumio Nambata, two of Japan's leading abstract painters. Furthermore, following the wishes of the late Tatsuoki Nambata, “Project N" is being held at the same time as the special exhibition as a series to introduce young artists in Japan. The work of young artists selected by the Foundation's selection committee will be exhibited in the 4th floor corridor.
