A Grand Showcase of Bulgari's Heritage: The Kaleidoscope Exhibition

On September 16, 2025, Bulgari celebrated a remarkable milestone with the opening of its largest exhibition in Japan, titled "Bulgari Kaleidoscope: Color, Culture, and Craftsmanship" at the National Art Center in Tokyo. Marking the brand's return to Japan for the first time in a decade, this exhibition brings together approximately 350 stunning pieces of vibrant jewelry and contemporary masterpieces that encapsulate a brilliant dialogue between Italian and Japanese cultures.

The exhibition not only showcases the craftsmanship of Bulgari but also immerses visitors in a kaleidoscopic journey through its rich history spanning over 140 years. Each piece reflects meticulous attention to detail, transforming color and light into an emotional experience, akin to embarking on a heartfelt journey.

The Star of the Evening: Tomohisa Yamashita

Among the honored guests at the opening event was Bulgari Ambassador Tomohisa Yamashita, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. Dressed in luxurious Bulgari items including the "Octo Roma" high-end watch adorned with diamonds and mandarin garnet, as well as exquisite high jewelry brooches from the Pocrihoma Collection—namely "Garden of Colors" and "Pina Romana"—Yamashita embodied the essence of sophistication and modern masculinity. His stunning combination showcased the harmonious blend of tradition and innovative design that Bulgari is renowned for.

In sharing his thoughts on the exhibition, Yamashita expressed:

“The exhibition was truly breathtaking. I could feel Bulgari’s legacy of over 140 years, and the immense dedication to color and light genuinely transported me to a journey of the heart. Each room offered a beautifully captivating experience, making it exceptionally enjoyable and never tiresome.”
