Taro Yamamoto, a professor at Kyoto University of Art and Design and a Japanese painter, will select student works from the graduation exhibition held in February 2025 and exhibit them alongside his own works. The keywords are "tradition/modernity," "crafts," and "life." Works with a high level of design that can be presented not as student works but as works by young artists will be selected. The design of the exhibition booth will also be proposed by refining the graduation works of the interior and spatial design course.

Artist / Brand

Taro Yamamoto

Born in Kumamoto in 1974. Specially appointed professor at Kyoto University of Art and Design. In 1999, he proposed the term "Nippon-ga" (Japanese painting) instead of Nihonga (Japanese style painting). He began to create paintings that combine Japanese classical painting with modern customs. His style has been described as a modern Rinpa school. In 2015, he received the Kyoto Prefecture Cultural Award Encouragement Prize.

Kyoto University of Art and Design

The school was established in Kyoto, a city with a world-renowned arts and crafts culture, with the aim of "educating talent who can create new value in traditional Japanese beauty and share it with the world." At the Higashiyama Campus, approximately 1,000 students study a wide range of knowledge and skills related to architecture and art every day in order to realize their dreams for the future.
