KH Gallery Ashiya will hold the exhibition titled “The Pleiades – Resonating Artists –”. Hiroko Koshino has been meeting and interacting with artists of various genres. Through these interactions, Koshino gained many things that became inspirations for her creations, such as the essence taught by a person she calls her master, influences from unique styles of expression, and experiences of getting to know materials other than paintings. This exhibition will present Koshino’s works as well as those of the artists close to her. These works are owned by Koshino and show the ties between the artists. Please enjoy the light that the resonating stars create together, like the Pleiades shining in the winter night sky.

Hiroko Koshino presented the 2020 spring/summer collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, on Tuesday, October 15.
This season’s theme is “Play Around the Music.”

With the live performance by the pianist Yukio Yokoyama, Koshino presented 56 creations inspired by the silhouettes of musical instruments. The special runaway was installed close to the audience, which allowed them to see the detailed designs under the bright sunlight. Fashion and music harmonized during this artistic moment. We would like to thank all those who attended the show.
