Aran Yasuoka
Born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1978.
Graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts (Design).

She creates works based on the theme of “past and future,”
combining elements of nature and machinery.

By intersecting contrasts such as organic and artificial,
she depicts imaginary forms of life.

Recently, she has incorporated motifs inspired by Edo-period chiyogami,
developing a distinctive visual world.

Yu Seto (b. 1994, Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan) graduated from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts and completed his MFA in Sculpture at the same university. Drawing on his interest in natural science, he creates sculptures of wild animals, primarily using terracotta. By leaving traces of his touch and the sculpting process visible on their surfaces, Seto explores the structures and movements of living beings and the essence of their existence. In addition to exhibiting in Japan and internationally, his practice extends across disciplines, including collaborations in fashion and design.

Yuji Kanamaru
Born in Kanagawa in 1978.
Graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts.

Working from a foundation in Nihonga, he develops a distinctive painterly language
defined by unique textures and layered, vibrant yet subtle colors.

Incorporating elements such as fabric, fragments of newspapers, and intentional cracks,
his surfaces generate a singular material presence.

Influenced by his childhood spent in the Middle East,
his work evokes a world where a sense of the unfamiliar and nostalgia intersect.
