Discover the Kadomatsu Chiyo Exhibition
The Kadomatsu Chiyo Exhibition, hosted by Kawamura Garden, is set to celebrate a remarkable reimagining of Japan's New Year traditions. Scheduled for
October 24th to 26th, 2025, at Keshiki-AA in Nihonbashi, this event promises to blend timeless customs with contemporary design, creating a stunning visual feast for all.
A New Vision of Tradition
At the heart of this exhibition is the
Kadomatsu Chiyo Decoration, a refined interpretation of traditional kadomatsu—a decorative gate made of pine, bamboo, and plum branches that is typically displayed during the New Year celebrations in Japan. This special decoration captures the spirit of
longevity and prosperity represented by pine,
purity and resilience conveyed through bamboo, the
elegance of winter-blooming plum, and the
abundance of rice stalks. Each element is lovingly crafted from natural materials, demonstrating a respect for nature's cycles.
As attendees approach, the Kadomatsu Chiyo Decoration serves as an emblem of beauty and rich cultural significance, enriching the entryway while signifying the joy of welcoming the new year.
An Artistic Approach to New Year Celebrations
Rooted deeply in Japanese tradition yet blissfully contemporary, the Kadomatsu Chiyo Decoration harmonizes with modern spaces without losing the essence of its cultural heritage. This year, Kawamura Garden presents the decoration not just as a symbol of celebration, but as a poignant reminder of the depth of Japanese cultural practices.
Kawamura Garden, led by renowned landscape artist
Hirotaka Kawamura, seeks to manifest the beauty of nature and its connection to people through this exhibition. Born in
1970 in Miyagi Prefecture, Kawamura has dedicated his career to blending traditional practices with a new artistic vision. His work emphasizes the importance of preserving culture while fostering innovation—inviting visitors to reflect on the beauty of gardens and their role within our lives.
