Currently being held at Gallery & Restaurant Backstage (Azabudai Hills), Yoichi Ochiai's solo exhibition ``Nuruan: NoisokureJaku∽Jakusokuresou'' is a collection of works created by media artist Yoichi Ochiai to date. , a space where the physical intermingling of light and sound waves and the cultural intermingling of folk art and tea ceremony take place, providing a rich moment of endless exploration into the depths of objects between the material and the immaterial, the real and the unreal. That's what we aim for.

The new tea room, "Nuruan," is constructed using lenses, deformed mirrors, and speakers. It explores the role of the tea room as an opportunity to experience, through tools, the ethics and norms imprinted on mass within the realm of computational nature (what Mr. Ochiai calls "a yearning for mass and folk art").

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Ltd. was in charge of displays construction of the organically deformed mirrors used in the tea room "Nuruan." The essence of this exhibition is a tour-style Ochiai-ryu tea ceremony experience. Based on instructions from the artist, you will move around the backstage area, both inside and out, experiencing the various mechanisms scattered throughout. As the experience progresses, the sounds and the mirror membranes in the tea room will change, and in the tea room "Nuruan," you will enjoy thin tea and main sweets served in vessels said to be from the Kofun and Edo periods. Enjoy the worldview of this new installation, which makes full use of the entire gallery space.

*Some works can be viewed for free, but to view all works and enter the tea room, a tea ceremony experience ticket with a specified date and time is required. (Advance reservation/first come first served)
