Visitors will also see contemporary pieces from Japanese artists as part of this cross-cultural dialogue.

Featured artists include renowned individuals like Huang Tu-shui, Chen Cheng-po, Li Mei-shu, He De-lai, Lin Yu-shan, Kuo Hsiueh-hu, Hong Jui-lin, Huang Tsao-tsao, Chen Hsiao-yu, and Chuang She-hua. This exhibition is the first of its kind, providing an expansive representsation of modern Taiwanese art in Japan.

The Sunday Reading Room with Sleepy Tofu

In conjunction with the exhibition, the second-floor reading space, "Sunday Reading Room with Sleepy Tofu," will feature a curated selection of books by tai-tai books, emphasizing Taiwanese lifestyle and contemporary topics.
