Artful Teshima Yokoo House

The brilliant Tadanori Yokoo, one of the worlds finest graphic artists, has initiated this hallucinogenic private museum to house his work. Drawing themes from Yokoo's visual grammar, the architects Yuko Nagayama and Associates have produced a group of spaces which could have been pulled directly from the artist's works. His famous collection of waterfall postcards is shown here in a cylindrical space with a mirrored floor creating an infinite fall of falls. His trademark saturated red, amplified by panes of vivid red glass and brilliantly painted rocks, punctuates structures which retain the character of the original houses, renovated to create this unique site.

"Mirrors figured in the prolonged and important initiation rights of the Dionysus mysteries, especially, perhaps, obscura mirrors which were so poor optically that they stimulated the imagination more than the eye."
- Richard Gregory, 1997, Mirrors In Mind
