We are pleased to present an exhibition by Mikio Ishiguro, who lives and works in the mountains of Kyotanba, Kyoto. His creative process begins by confronting the harsh reality of wildlife culling, using the skins of deer and boar. Engaging with the raw materials—bearing traces of blood, scent, and body heat—he spends time with them until they naturally take shape as works of art. When static materials like stone or earth meet the dynamic, sensory quality of animal skin, a quiet presence emerges—one that resists explanation. Stones covered in skin are placed in the space not as tools or decorations, but as things that simply exist, quietly drawing in our gaze and awareness. This exhibition features new works using deer skin and fallen leaves, as well as pieces exploring the supple qualities of bamboo. Through these forms born of nature and returning to it, we are gently invited to sense the overlooked layers of time and the tangible presence of life. We hope you enjoy the exhibition.
