~A moment in Ginza where all five senses can unwind~
Art Aquarium Museum GINZA (located at Ginza Mitsukoshi) will open its early summer special exhibition, "Wisteria and Hydrangeas: Early Summer Goldfish 2026 – A Moment in Ginza Where the Five Senses Unwind," from Friday, April 24th.
We present an "early summer art aquarium experience" themed around wisteria and hydrangeas, symbols of early summer in Japan, where a space filled with goldfish in aquariums is bathed in blue and purple.
In this rainy season, this event allows you to enjoy seasonal traditions and goldfish art together without worrying about the weather. Enjoy the elegant world view that blends the calming presence of goldfish, unique to Art Aquarium.
■<Highlights> Experience a fantastical world with all your senses as vibrant hydrangeas bloom in profusion!
This year, a hydrangea area created by Hibiya Kadan, a professional in flowers and greenery, will be featured.
In the "Goldfish Corridor," where aquariums line the space and appear to stretch endlessly thanks to the use of mirrors, colorful hydrangeas bloom in profusion.
Lighting reminiscent of early summer transforms the space into a multitude of colors, through which goldfish gracefully dance and swim.
The Art Aquarium Museum's early summer exhibition allows you to experience the arrival of early summer with all your senses.
We look forward to your visit.
●Production Collaboration: Hibiya Kadan – Goldfish Corridor A hydrangea-themed space created in collaboration with Hibiya Kadan, the professionals in flowers and greenery, has arrived! The Goldfish Corridor area will be filled with hydrangeas. Enjoy the hydrangeas as they change into various scenes thanks to the vibrant lighting.
<Hibiya Kadan comment>
We've added a colorful array of pastel-colored hydrangeas to the goldfish corridor.
The aqua-blue light peeking through the flowers evokes the refreshing breeze of early summer and the shimmering surface of water.
The beauty of traditional culture that can be felt from goldfish swimming in water,
Please come and experience this refreshing space, available only during this time of year, where seasonal decorations proposed by Hibiya Kadan are fused together.
