We introduce Kusumi Erika. She creates the photography collages weaving stories from destruction to rebirth with matelial which she has photographed landscape, buildings human bodies, plants, and more by herself.

We have been introducing beauty painting from classic to contemporary in Japan. How do next generation connect the world of “beauty painting” nurtured rich by Kiyokata and Yumeji? Two artists, Okamoto Toko and Otake Ayana with high technique paint on the theme of women’s desire.

Shukado's booth concept is "Hsien" at Art KYOTO 2019.
Kyoto having Nijo-jo Castle where is the exhibition's venue is the unique area as the urban space harmonized nature and human from ancient times. As Kyoto is the city as if in the outlying mountain's embrace, our aim is the exhibition harmonizing "Human" and "Nature", "Past" and "Present", also being appropriate for this area.
Therefore we exhibit Japanese paintings by Hattori Shihori, installation by Nomura Takuro, and old Japanese paintings by Shukado collection.

Ikenaga Yasunari who is well known as the top artist of depicting Japanese beauty today.
The Exhibition of publication of Ikenaga Yasunari's Art Book by GENKOSHA co. is held in SHUKADO.

We, Art Gallery SHUKADO is the unique gallery in the world which introduces mainly fine Japanese artfrom 1000 years ago to today. At this time, we introduce fantastic art works to people in Taichung. Four living artists from SHUKADO take you to different world. One of them is Kakinuma Hiroki, he depicts a grand panoramic world where foreign materials and human beings, the ordinary and the abnormality intersects. Then, Kusumi Erika, her art works, futuristic and nostalgic all at once, beckon one to the edge of a sensation of intoxication. And then Sasamoto Masaaki who depicts visionary female with storytelling embellishments. Lastly, Sugita Yohei who continuously pursues the true nature of painting. These artists form their own unique world and their world are seemed that you haven’t seen but can go there sometime. You feel a desire to talk these worlds with your family, lovers, and friends.

Mishima's predilection for old painting style is conspicuous on his still-life and nude painted by the special pigments invented by himself.
He is very particular about "buttocks" and his expression is very physical and provocative and rather difficult to display at the modest place like Department Stores.
We challenge this time to exhibit all his world.

For this show we decided to pick up the artists who deliver powerful messages about our indigenous world peculiar in Japan and review them in the context of modern world art.
So to say, art is always under the necessity of renewing of its concept and rethinking about its “raison d’être”, or changing relationship between matière and art.
What’s Asiatic or what’s Japanese or Chinese art with respective cultural
background in contrast with the world art? Especially how Japanese culture means in the midst of the world art? We are to present Japanese and Chinese artists who shed lights on this matter.

Shukado will showcase at ART CENTRAL 2019 at the Central Harborfront, Hong Kong from March 27th to 31th.

As of now, we, SHUKADO would like to introduce four living artists under the theme of“ modern artists who enchant you with magical spell”
Every one of them has a special charm of personality to create his own world represented in his human figures, animals or imaginary creatures.
If you look upon them, you may well be drawn into its magical world and enchanted unconsciously.

We will showcase at AFFORDABLE ART FAIR BRUSSELS 2019 at the Brussels, Belgium from 15th to 17th March.
