This event was held in commemorating the 35th anniversary of the Niigata Isetan Department Store. The exhibition was extensively held on 3 different floors. The above photo shows the entrance area on the 2nd floor.
Appearing of a fusion space of Mother Nature and aquascapes

From the 7th to the 19th of August for 13 days, “Takashi Amano Exhibition: For All Who Love Nature” was held at Niigata Isetan. Because it was held during summer break along with Japanese National Holidays, 13,000 people visited the event. Looking back memories of Takashi Amano’s creative journeys as it had been 4 years since his passing, this exhibition was planned with a hope for spreading his wish which is “I would like many people to have interests in nature as much as possible”.
