The crisp air of winter sets the stage for a clear view of artworks. “Shiodome” features Tatsuo Inose’s collage on colored papers with gold and silver leaf which will remind viewers of a kaleidoscope, Sonosuke Yukichika’s vivid and modern Japanese paintings and Yutokutaishi Akiyama’s humorous tin object. The exhibition also displays classic Japanese paintings, such as hand-drawn Ukiyoe of the Edo Period representing Edo Culture. We sincerely hope you will enjoy some winter nights and days at the hotel.Speaking of “Bansankai” – “ban” means night and “san” means light or day.

Ukiyo-e, a renowned form of Japanese art, emerged after an era of unrest and conflict.
Compared with the printed versions, paintings which were hand drawn by artists are called ”Nikuhitsu Ukiyo-e” (hand-painted Ukiyo-e).
They also are historical materials which reflect the culture of different eras through depicted characters, such as beautiful women or actors, and landscapes. Ink was used for painting black, while chalk and pigments were used for colors.
