My solo exhibition at Quiet Gallery in Hong Kong officially opened on June 7.
It has been several years since a senior artist I deeply admire introduced me to Mr. Howard Lee of Quiet Gallery, and after a long period of preparation, the exhibition has finally come to life. I’m truly happy and proud to have held a solo exhibition at this wonderful gallery in Hong Kong. My heartfelt thanks go to everyone who supported and cared for this exhibition to make it happen!
From arranging international shipping to handling all communication in English—unlike my previous show in Berlin where I could use Japanese—Everything felt a little surreal until I finally arrived in Hong Kong for the installation—it was hard to believe it was actually happening.
But the team at Quiet Gallery was incredibly kind, efficient, and attentive throughout the process. Their support helped me tremendously, and they created a beautiful exhibition space. I’m truly grateful.
Many guests visited during the pre-opening, and I was deeply touched by the warm and generous feedback on my works.
To be honest, everything about this experience was new to me, and I was nervous the entire time. But on the last day, as I rode the Star Ferry toward the airport and looked out over the sunlit summer landscape of Hong Kong, it finally sank in—I had really exhibited here. My heart was full.
One of my new pieces didn’t make it in time to ship, so I packed it in a carton bag and brought it on the plane myself. As always, I was working until the very last moment, but I’m so glad it made it in time.
This was my second visit to Hong Kong since my initial trip for a preview. Even when I asked questions in my clumsy English, everyone was kind and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing, and despite the cultural differences, Hong Kong felt strangely familiar—a warm city where urban energy and friendliness coexist. I’ve truly fallen in love with it.
The beautiful sound of Cantonese, which I heard throughout my stay, also left a strong impression on me. I’d love to start learning it and get to know more about this wonderful place.
The exhibition runs until June 22. I hope many of you will have the chance to visit!
