Living Well With the Arts at Mitsukoshi ART & CREATION

ART & CREATION at Nihombashi Mitsukoshi is a storewide celebration where each and every floor of the Main Store and Annex celebrates both the arts and their place in our daily lives.

Mitsukoshi × Tokyo University of the Arts

Adding youthful energy to this artistic festival we also teamed up with Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan's sole national arts university and one responsible for nurturing countless creatives, for a special competition to find a new generation of talent. Students were tasked with reimagining Nihombashi Mitsukoshi's iconic wrapping paper, with the winning designs being put into production for use in store. You can still see many of the other entries in store, so why not see which one you might have picked?

A Festival of Fine Art

The festivities didn't stop there either, as around 100 current students and young graduates from the Tokyo University of the Arts had their work displayed in store at the sixth floor art galleries. Visitors were entranced by a variety of works that spanned Japanese tradition to the contemporary arts.

Join us as we look at two fresh talents from the exhibition, and hear the stories behind their work.
