SHUMOKU GALLERY is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Shūzō Takiguchi (1903–1979, born in Toyama Prefecture), a multifaceted figure known as a poet, art critic, and artist.

This exhibition focuses on Takiguchi’s work as a visual artist, featuring primarily his decalcomania works—one of his signature techniques.

This is a rare opportunity to experience Takiguchi’s art in Nagoya, the first such occasion in 13 years since the 2003 Nagoya City Art Museum exhibition “Shūzō Takiguchi: Beyond Automatism.” We look forward to welcoming you.
