Nestled among Karuizawa’s verdant pines and framed by misty mountain peaks, Shohei Hishida’s handcrafted Belgian residence becomes a living canvas for “The Art of Retreat: Forms of Living and Beauty,” on view July 15–25, 2025.

Curated by Whitestone Gallery, this intimate exhibition places works by Katsuyoshi Inokuma, Masayuki Tsubota, MADARA MANJI, and Miyako Terakura within the vacation home’s architecture and everyday spaces—inviting you to discover how contemporary art can harmonize with and elevate your own surroundings.
