At the Park Hotel Tokyo, we welcome our guests with hospitality in the form of “arrangement”, one of Japan’s aesthetic values, expressed through the medium of art. As part of this initiative, we hold series of art exhibition, “ART colours”, representing the four seasons of Japan. We have prepared this 31st Exhibition that emanates with the playful spirit of our artist Becky and wraps you in the soothing warmth of her worldview, for our guests who will be traveling to Japan during the cold “winter” months.
Winter.
Such a bitterly cold season, yet warmth too
To have your hand held by special someone
To enjoy a freshly prepared hot meal
To settle down peacefully in your room
Winter is the season where many “warm moments” are accentuated because of the cold.
It is my pleasure to invite you all into the warmth of my exhibition, away from the chill and a busy life.
Becky
Japan is a country that undergoes seasonal changes in temperature. We have been mustering our knowledge and imaginative powers to deliver to our guests a warmth that will seep into both body and soul during the winters. It is also our Japanese beauty to provide our guests with our unique Japanese form of hospitality.
In this winter, please enjoy the warm hospitality of “Becky -Cozy and Warm Winter!-”, that will stoke a gentle light your heart.

Born in Kanagawa Prefecture, 1984.
Last year was Becky’s 20th anniversary since her debut as a tv personality/actress.

In 2017 she has joined an art project, “10,000yen Art”, which was setup by the broadcast writer, Mr. Mitsuyoshi Takasu. With this experience, she became interested in the world of art and started drawing. From December of the same year, she began contributing on a monthly basis her drawings to the serial publication, “InRed”, published by Takarajimasha.

Art is not what you see, but what you feel.
Of course, there are many that are visually appealing, but they cannot be compared with the emotions felt with the heart.
One can empathize with the same emotions, but everyone goes through a different life path.
Since people appreciate Art through their own lens, it is impossible to find anyone who will have the same exact feelings.
The Artist has said that she values intuition and positivity.
To some extent, one can feel the warmth and kindness overflowing from this piece.
Focus on your feelings, and let your mind cherish this special moment.
The artist said that she put her warm love into this simple artwork. She drew the two birds flying together in the clear blue sky in the image of her ideal couple who shares the hardship.
Also, the dots randomly put in the artwork remind us that she is the artist who leads Japanese Kawaii culture for many years.
Her art are all unique and drawn with full of happiness. So I wish you, especially the couple or the family, to enjoy her unique and charming art, and to feel happiness.
Life can be round, triangular and square.
Or more like anything goes in our life.
We write our own stories of shape in our lives.
How wonderful life is depending on each persons. However, there are huge stories behind our background that we can not judge and image at all.
I would like you to look at this picture when you are facing a big problem which struggles you.
Remember, your LIFE is good.
On a quiet night with beautiful winter stars, there is an aroma of sweet stew.
Although it is small, it makes me feel warm as if it were a peaceful and relaxed home. This is an artwork that you can hear the voice of your family greeting you saying “Welcome back, Dinner is stew!”
The freedom in “BE FREE” was the point that germinated in my mind when I saw Becky’s artwork. It was in form of question and I had to observe the picture deeply to come up with what I believe is the answer.
The nicely draped yarn reminds me of a winter evening when one is wrapped inside a warm blanket. Her combination also generates the thought of relaxing one’s body and mind, a process which makes our thoughts clear and helps us to feel free. It is a work which encompasses the imagination and thought, a creation of unique mind and liberation.
Becky’s choice of her favourite warm colours and yarn expresses the artist’s feeling of freedom. They also act as magnet which draws viewers of her artwork to think liberation. I believe that the work is unique and conveys a strong message of freedom.
The first autumn winds gently stir the pink flowers like a pinwheel. The colors evoke an image of the changing season. The artist used her favorite colors and unique style to create this whimsical image for her fans.
