At the main venue, Tofrom Yaesu Tower, the entire event space will be adorned with art by Heralbony-contracted artists. Art booths themed around each era\u2014"Meiji\/Taisho," "Showa," "Heisei," and "Reiwa"\u2014will appear within the venue. The lives of people and the richness nurtured in each era will be explored through a single story inspired by Tokyo Tatemono's condominium brand Brillia's brand statement, "Being myself, that is richness." In addition to art exhibitions curated around this story, there will also be experiential content that allows participants to feel "what is richness?" themselves, as well as performances using bodily expression. This gallery is being held as part of the activities of "BAG-Brillia Art Gallery-," a site-specific gallery that does not have a fixed location.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1896-2026: A 130-Year Story of Tokyo<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Countless people have lived in Tokyo.
Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, Reiwa\u2014these paintings depict people who lived through each of those eras.
A shopkeeper carries his goods on a pole and sells fish from door to door.
A person pulling passengers in a rickshaw and speeding through the town.
A chef who fries tempura and serves it to people.
Young people running towards Otemachi, passing the sash from one to the next.
Office workers taking on a new project with their colleagues in a high-rise building.
Just as the people in the paintings appear so vibrant, the people who lived in each era, each with their own thoughts and living their own lives, lit a small light in this town.
Each of those lights, possessing a different color and emitting a different brilliance, met, blended, and together created the city of Tokyo we know today.
Perhaps that very overlap is what constitutes our richness.
Now, you embark on a journey through 130 years of Tokyo's history.
Across time, we meet people and touch the feelings they cherish, the moment when their light was lit.
And at the end of your journey, what kind of light will you encounter? <\/p>\n

<\/strong> This digital content encourages you to reflect on what richness means to you and discover your true self. Participants choose an artwork and contemplate questions related to "richness" presented to them. From the artwork they choose and the subtle physical reactions that emerge as they contemplate, a "MY ART DOT" is generated that reflects the nuances of their heart. The completed MY ART DOT can be taken home as a card, and will also be accumulated on the venue's screen, overlapping to create one large "light." No reservation is required; you are welcome to participate freely during the event hours. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u25cf Purpose and concept of this event<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since its founding in 1896 (Meiji 29), Tokyo Tatemono has been committed to community development for 130 years, considering the lives of the people who live, work, and gather in the area. The history and traditions of the town have been created by the existence of each individual who has lived in pursuit of their own kind of richness in each era. In this event, we envision the richness within each individual as "light." In an open space where many people come and go, you can encounter the unique "individuality" of each person through the artwork of various artists and re-examine what richness means to you. These are four special days to experience various kinds of light while tracing the story that has been built up over 130 years. All four venues are within walking distance of each other, so participants can stroll around the town, visit the scattered artworks of various artists, and enjoy the art and stories that light up like a collection of dots (DOTS). <\/p>\n
