Experience the Art of Ikebana with Ayumi Sugiyama



YUGEN Gallery FUKUOKA, nestled in the heart of Fukuoka, will transform on June 28, 2025, for a remarkable artistic event. It will host renowned artist Ayumi Sugiyama and her special live performance, an embodiment of the traditional Japanese art of Ikebana. Set to start at 16:00 (4 PM), this unique show is part of her solo exhibition titled "Breatheborn".

Having previously captivated audiences at the YUGEN Gallery in Tokyo with her 2024 exhibition "impermanence", this event promises a fresh experience inspired by the vibrant life of late autumn. The title "Breatheborn" merges the concepts of breathing and birth, reflecting Sugiyama’s artistic journey and future creations.

This exhibition showcases new works for the first time, heavily influenced by the natural landscapes of her hometown, Miyazaki. Attendees will experience stunning installations that blend one-leaf Ikebana with contemporary art, creating an immersive environment that resonates throughout the gallery.

During the live performance, Ayumi Sugiyama will arrange flowers before the audience, capturing the essence of Ikebana in real-time, accompanied by soothing ambient music. Viewers will not only observe the intricate flower arrangements but also feel the spiritual connection between nature and art that Sugiyama embodies in her work.

After the performance, a gallery talk will commence at 17:00 (5 PM), allowing the audience an intimate look into Gourmand's artistic background and insights into her creative process. Complimentary drinks will be provided, making this a perfect setting for a relaxed evening of artistic exploration and conversation.
