About

ETERNAL Art Space presents RESONANCE — Tradition Reimagined, an exhibition taking place from November 20 (Friday) to 23 (Monday, national holiday), 2026, at MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, located within TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY in Tokyo.

*The 4F Tatami exhibition runs until November 22 (Sunday).

RESONANCE brings together Japan's traditional cultural heritage and contemporary digital art, creating new forms of artistic expression and cultural value.

Through video, sound, audiovisual installations, craftsmanship, ikebana, and digital art, the exhibition reinterprets the aesthetics and spirituality embedded in Japanese traditions from a contemporary perspective.

Tradition and technology, craftsmanship and digital creativity—artistic expressions from different eras, disciplines, and cultural backgrounds resonate with one another, connecting inherited cultural traditions with future forms of expression and presenting new possibilities for creativity.

Featuring works by artists from Japan and around the world, the exhibition also creates opportunities for cultural exchange across borders and generations.

Taking place across the 2F Entrance Lobby, 3F Land Lab and Sun Lab, and 4F Tatami at MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, the exhibition presents installations and audiovisual works that respond to the unique characteristics of each space.

The 3F exhibition brings together diverse artistic expressions, from traditional Japanese culture to contemporary digital art.

Featured works include Interpreted Scape by ike-bana, which offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement; LOOP by FLIGHTGRAF, a kinetic light sculpture in which 9.1-channel spatial audio, light, and movement come together to transform the space; and Hemispherical Portraits by Akiko Nakayama, which captures fleeting expressions created through the interaction of bubbles and ink.

Together, these works create an environment in which traditional culture, light, movement, sound, and diverse forms of artistic expression resonate with one another.

1 | ETERNAL Art Space Audiovisual Installation (Paid Admission)

ETERNAL Art Space presents three works: WAVE WEAVE by Carsten Nicolai, created in collaboration with HOSOO, a long-established Nishijin textile company based in Kyoto; Aura by Hatis Noit, whose distinctive musical world is created entirely through the human voice; and Hyperbolic Scape by Shuhei Matsuyama & Tetsuji Ohno, which draws inspiration from traditional Japanese dry landscape gardens (karesansui) and uses digital technology to reinterpret the spirituality of Japanese culture and concepts of time and space.
Through moving images and sound, the program creates a new audiovisual experience where traditional Japanese culture intersects with contemporary digital expression.

2 | Sound xR Installation — あわい間 / Awai Ma (Free Admission)

Awai Ma is an immersive installation that invites visitors to experience the spaces between inside and outside, sound and silence, and space and time through shoji, traditional Japanese sliding screens.
As the shoji screens are opened and closed, sound, imagery, and the atmosphere of the space transform in response.
Utilizing Sound xR, Yamaha Group's immersive audio solution, the installation brings together light, moving images, and sound to explore the richness of simply spending time and experiencing something—an experience often overlooked in everyday life.
