Bunkitsu, a cultural bookstore located in Roppongi, Tokyo, is set to host an extraordinary collaboration exhibition titled "HIROBA × Bunkitsu," running from August 9, 2025, to September 29, 2025. This exhibition features Yoshiki Mizuno's HIROBA project, which has been celebrated for its innovative approach to creativity and dialogue since its inception in 2019.

What is HIROBA?

HIROBA is an experimental project led by Mizuno, merging artistic creation with dialogue and thought. Over the years, it has evolved into a vibrant meeting ground for diverse artists and creators, resulting in numerous text-based and musical works. The aim is to foster meaningful conversations that resonate amidst a world filled with overwhelming noise.

Exhibition Highlights

Attendees can look forward to:

• - An extensive display summarizing HIROBA’s past activities.
• - Unique hand-drawn artworks created specifically for this exhibition by Mizuno.
• - A curated reading corner featuring selected works by Mizuno, most of which will be available for purchase.

Special Merchandise and Novelties

In addition to the exhibition, exclusive merchandise including HIROBA-themed goods designed by Mizuno will be available. Signing up for certain products will entitle buyers to special novelties, like original postcards and bookmarks featuring Mizuno's designs.

Among the highlights will be a large acrylic board inspired by Mizuno’s 2022 work, “Shiawase no Mama de, Shinde Kure,” showcased for a limited time during the exhibition. More details about the exhibition and contents will be announced on the official HIROBA X platform soon!

Yoshiki Mizuno's Perspective

In Mizuno's own words, "From the inception of HIROBA in April 2019, my vision was to create a space for creativity and dialogue. Over the past six years, I've had the privilege of meeting people who have enriched that vision. This exhibition will introduce various authors we’ve encountered through HIROBA and present some of the works born from it. In a time where stories can be taken away by loud voices, the importance of quiet conversations should not be overlooked."
