Exhibitions

Inspired by Otogi-zōshi, a collection of short stories written between the Muromachi and Edo Eras (1336 – 1868), Kamei’s pieces in this exhibition have been dubbed Otogi Dolls. Care has been paid to every detail, from their skin color to texture, resulting in a presence that is infinitely eerie, stunning, and awakens the imagination of the viewer. Take a step into an alluring world with Kamei as your guide.
