Internationally renowned artists from Tokyo, Toyomi Hoshina and Ritsuko Taho bring the interrelation of nature and culture to the forefront of art. Their work, often composed of organic matter such as leaves, plants, and soil, moves beyond the conventions of what is considered the " natural environment" to include the complexities of social environments.
