Chiaki Horikoshi is a celebrated painter, essayist, potter, and singer. He spends his time traveling between the cheerful warmer climates of Spain and the Wabi-Sabi concepts of Japan in order to encourage the free rugged style in which he creates his scenes of art.
For the next ART colours exhibition, Chiaki Horikoshi’s Wabi-Sabi, we have enticed him from his tea house in the mountains of Kamiizumimura in order to display the art he created on his many travels around the world.

As Artist Horikoshi’s western style is mixed with the Japanese beauty on show in the hotel, we decided to do the same style mix with a western afternoon tea classic, scones, in a traditional Japanese tea room style.
After taking in the exhibition works what better way to relax than to enjoy the playful scone menu in the ART Lounge.
