The Nippon Gallery, on the 7th floor in the Nippon Club tower, will present Shichiro Kobayashi’s exhibition “Drama of light and shadow” with paintings and anime background drawings commemorating Mr. Shichiro Kobayashi (1932-2022), a leading animation artist active since the early days of TV animation, who continued to work as a painter until his death on August 25th, 2022, at the age of 89.

We will introduce the world of Shichiro Kobayashi, who lived a life of animation history and had a significant influence on creators and animation enthusiasts in Japan and abroad, and who continued — upon closing his anime production in 2011 — to pursue his aesthetics of nature and unlimitedness through figurative and abstract paintings.

You are cordially invited to the opening reception on Friday, November 18th. Please RSVP your spot soon. Looking forward to seeing you at the reception.

Time: 5:00 PM — 7:00 PM EST
