The Museum Of Contemporary Art Tokyo is showing the work of this hugely influential Japanese artist. Working in architecture, design, sceniography and sculpture, Yoshioka has developed a unique grammar of his own. The extraordinary brittle clarity and precision of his work often accompanies a weightless ethereality and a radical use of material and process. The acute resolution of his ideas and his mastery of all manner of fabrication techniques make his ideas difficult to appropriate and really set him apart from his many imitators.

"It is interesting to speculate that this relationship between smell and emotion may be a two-way relationship, i.e. smells influence mood states but those mood states may well in turn modify the experience of a smell, by actually changing what is going on in the nose."
- Van Toller & Dodd, 1988, Perfumery : The Psychology And Biology Of Fragrance
