Constitution and Art.

The two will be exhibited side by side.

This exhibition is inspired by the book “The Constitution of Japan” (Gento Matsumoto, 2019, TAC Publishing). The director of the exhibition has selected 28 works that differ from those in the book and combined them with the articles of the Constitution.

The Constitution of Japan is the basis of life in this country, and all expressions are connected to life.

We hope that the space created by the “articles x works” selected for this exhibition will lead to new perspectives on today’s social conditions, art trends, and our daily lives.
In order to make this exhibition an annual event on The Constitution Day, the first edition will be held at three venues: MUJIN-TO Production, AOYAMA | MEGURO, and JUNKUDO Bookstore Ikebukuro.
