Osamu Mukai and Mika Ninagawa.
A collection of works created by a series of coincidences. Nationally recognized actor Osamu Mukai and photographer Mika Ninagawa hit it off in their private lives and began this collaboration in an attempt to photograph each other throughout the year. Mika Ninagawa captures Mukai as an individual as well as an actor from the perspective of art and sexiness in “Cherry Blossoms in Spring” and “Hydrangeas in Rainy Season,” shot in Mukai’s own clothes, “Summer in Cambodia,” which he even considers his second home, “Autumn Leaves” and “Winter in Hokkaido,” and beyond. This exhibition will feature approximately 100 never-before-seen shots that have not been included in the photo book.

The Mika Ninagawa Monthly MEN Osamu Mukai exhibition, which toured Sapporo Parco last fall as well as Ginza, Nagoya, Kobe, Matsumoto, Hyogo, and other locations in Japan to great acclaim, has once again come to Sapporo. A year-long collaboration between two extremely busy people, one as a photographer and film director, the other as an actor. If you missed it last time, please take this chance to see it, and if you have seen it once, please take the time to enjoy the excitement and excitement again.
In anticipation of the grand opening of the main building in October, the Sapporo Miyanomori Art Museum will open the exhibition rooms under construction to the public free of charge. Please look forward to the new [MIMAS] Miyanomori International Museum of Art, Sapporo this fall.
