Onomatopoeia is a way of expressing the sounds, states, and behavior of objects through sound. It can convey conditions that are difficult to put into words and invisible emotional movements, and can be said to be a language of sensations close to the five senses.
In this exhibition, visitors will be able to enjoy the works while sharing empathy and disagreement through onomatopoeia that express the characteristics and feelings of the works. The onomatopoeia is easy for everyone to understand and familiar, making the works feel more familiar.
●Exhibiting artists: Shiraga Kazuo, Manabe Hiroshi, Yanase Masamu, Kato Bunrei, Inokuma Genichiro, and others.
