The Park Hotel Tokyo (1-7-1 Higashi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo) has completed its “Artist Room Public Bathhouse” for hotel guests as the 11th in the series of its “Artist in Hotel” project that started December, 2012. In the project, prominent Japanese artists decorate hotel rooms to present the entire room as an artwork.
The 11th Wave of this project, “Public bathhouse”, was started by the modern artist Keiko Migita on 7 August, and completed on 1st September.
On the headboard, a painting of Mount Fuji and pine trees. On the wall, the mosaic looks like tiles, but this is also a picture. This painting, which makes you feel like you’re actually inside a “sento” (Japanese public bathhouse), surrounds you. Migita chose the theme of Public bathhouse as her motif because it’s part of the “austere, daily life of the Japanese people”. She wanted to create a room where you could relax body and mind in the easy-going atmosphere of a Japanese bathhouse. And the characters painted there are the fictitious people called PONI (dwellers) which always appear in her work. The painting shows these dwellers, who might be foreign guests or space travelers, enjoying Japanese culture.
We hope you too will come and experience the “Artist Room” – a rather extraordinary artwork you can actually live in.
