💡 Art in Light: Experiencing Isamu Noguchi’s AKARI at OZEKI Tokyo Gallery

#hellohalloween

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Tokyo, OZEKI Tokyo Gallery offers a rare and inspiring experience that bridges tradition and modern art. This space is dedicated to AKARI, the iconic light sculptures created by Isamu Noguchi, as well as the time-honored craft of Gifu lanterns—both produced by OZEKI for generations.

The gallery presents AKARI not just as lighting, but as sculpture—delicate forms glowing through handmade washi paper. Each piece casts a soft, warm light that transforms the room into a peaceful dreamscape. The staff kindly explained the history and craftsmanship behind both AKARI and Gifu lanterns, adding depth to the experience.

If you’re interested in Japanese design, light, or simply want to see beauty reimagined through paper and form, this gallery is a must-visit.
