Ametsuchi no Uta - Song of Heaven and Earth

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 a series of art exhibitions, “ART colours”, representing the four seasons of Japan.
The Summer -Autumn 2023 exhibition will be curated by Art Front Gallery. The Japanese sense of beauty has changed throughout history with the influx of people, culture, and things, and is deeply a result of the sentiments that have emerged from the lives of people who have lived with the climate of Japan. Still, we believe that the heart of this sense is the idea of transition, a sentiment of the subtleties of human life, life and death, and the changing seasons. The Ame-Tsuchi no Uta (Songs of the Ame-Tsuchi), the title of the exhibition, is a collection of 48 poems authored by Minamoto no Shitanogo, 8 for each of the six categories of spring, summer, fall, winter, thought, and love, with the word “Ame-Tsuchi” inscribed as the first and last letters of each poem. Through the themes of the four seasons, thoughts, and love, we have gathered artworks that convey the never-ending nature of time and human life into art that demonstrates the Japanese sense of beauty. The exhibition site has four areas, each exhibiting artworks according to the following themes.

<Four Seasons> <Thoughts> <Love> <Play>

▼ In “Four Seasons,” the main themes are the change from summer to autumn and the events and festivals held from late May to mid-November.
▼ In “Thoughts,” artworks with refined expressions based on profound thoughts confronting the materials are presented.
▼ In “Love,” colorful abstract artworks are presented on the theme of the sentiments of people.
▼ “Play”: Minamoto no Shigoto 911–983, a Heian-period poet and one of the 36 great poets of the Heian period, was known as a very talented poet who composed many waka poems with elaborate wordplay techniques. We hope that visitors will enjoy the freedom and unrestrained nature of contemporary art, following in the footsteps of this playful poet.
