A Unique Blend of Art and Healthcare at THIRD CLINIC GINZA

In a groundbreaking initiative, THIRD CLINIC GINZA, located in Tokyo's Chūō district, is set to launch the "THIRD CLINIC × ART" program on November 11, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the emotional well-being of its visitors by showcasing and selling art within the clinic. The first artist to be featured is Motoki Shiozawa, renowned for his large-scale works, including installations at the famous Shibuya Station’s Hachiko Square.

Bringing Sensitivity to Medical Environments

Visiting a gynecological clinic often comes with a mix of emotions ranging from expectations to anxieties. THIRD CLINIC GINZA recognizes the importance of creating a calming atmosphere for these patients, allowing them to reconnect with their feelings in a tranquil manner. By incorporating art into the medical space, the clinic seeks to foster a calming environment where patients can ease their tensions and anxieties.

Art has a unique ability to silently acknowledge emotions that are often difficult to articulate. As patients take a moment to appreciate the artworks while they wait for their appointments, it can help them breathe a little deeper and emotionally realign themselves. Many of the displayed pieces will also be available for purchase, allowing visitors to bring a piece of that comforting experience home.

Spotlight on Artist Motoki Shiozawa

Motoki Shiozawa, born in 1992, is a multifaceted artist who blends traditional Japanese painting with elements of American comics and cinematic themes. His works frequently explore the concepts of time and change. Among his notable achievements is a stunning mural titled "emergence," which stretches over 10 meters and was unveiled at Shibuya Station in 2024. Shiozawa's art beautifully reflects the cycle of life and the elegance of change, making it a fitting addition to a gynecological clinic that often deals with new beginnings.

As Shiozawa emphasizes, placing art in healthcare settings can allow a momentary connection with one's inner stillness, crucial for personal serenity. He describes his work as a gentle presence that accompanies viewers through their various health journeys — a comforting notion in the often stressful context of healthcare.

Emphasizing Compassion in Healthcare

Dr. Ayako Miwa, a leading gynecologist at THIRD CLINIC and a board member of the THIRD CLINIC society, expresses the clinic's philosophy of catering to both the physical and emotional aspects of women’s health. Visitors often arrive with concerns about menstruation, infertility, pregnancy, and menopause. Dr. Miwa aims to create a reassuring environment in which patients can experience the warmth of colors and light, facilitating a deeper connection with their feelings. She hopes that art will serve as a catalyst for this emotional engagement.
