Detail
These artists create work every day, imagining unknown stars and fictional cities, and envisioning the people and robots who live there. By giving names to these fantastical stars and cities, they seem to come to life as if they truly exist, drawing viewers into their world. Their endless stream of stories and pure passion for creation is almost overwhelming! Why not join this unique, boundless, and strangely comforting imaginary urban planning project? Let’s enjoy it together!

Ryo Hirayama was born in Tokyo in 1992, began making animals out of paper clay at the age of three, and started drawing pictures while attending a special needs school. Since graduating from high school, he has dedicated most of his time to painting and drawing. While he spends four hours a day serving tea at the nutrition department of Toranomon Hospital and walking, he devotes the rest of his time to creating paintings and idea books.Since 2010, he has participated in various art exhibitions, including the 2024 Ikigai Exhibition at the Ghislain National Museum in Belgium.
Yosuke Nishiyama was born in Tokyo in 1988 and passed away in 2015 at the age of 27.
His first solo exhibition took place in 2003, and his work has been shown at the KOMOREBI Exhibition at the Centre National des Arts de la Ville de Nantes in France in 2017, Japonais Exhibition at the Musée de la Ville de Paris in France in 2018, and numerous other exhibitions.
Norimitsu Kokubo was born in 1995, and his creative work began when he started elementary school. He is interested in the shape of this world (society) and gathers together subjects and information that spark his interest from the internet, television, history books, and photographs taken on trips, which he then draws on paper. In addition to his exhibitions in Japan and internationally, the documentary film Can’t Stop That Drawing Feeling follows his working process.
