When I\u2019m not painting, I\u2019m cooking, going for walks, knitting, or exploring on the weekends. It\u2019s like living on my own, just in a different place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After exploring various parts of Asia like Taiwan, the Philippines, and Vietnam, Kiyo-san has recently been drawn to Northern Europe. She finds inspiration in the serene beauty of its forests and lakes, brimming with diverse life. The people there live gracefully, cherishing nature with a sense of reverence. This deeply moves her and fuels her creativity. This time, however, the setting is Miyakojima. Despite its starkly different climate and landscape, Matsumoto finds surprising parallels in how people live, connecting the two places in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC6144_re-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC6144_re-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC6144_re-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC6144_re-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC6144_re.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe way people here connect with nature and express gratitude reminds me of life in Denmark. It\u2019s not about humans being at the center, but about coexisting with nature and feeling privileged to be part of it. There\u2019s this quiet acceptance of gods and unseen forces as a natural part of life, integrated into daily routines. Hearing a local elder talk about offering prayers every day made me realize that this kind of connection still exists in Japan, and it was such a heartwarming discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC7303-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC7303-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC7303-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC7303-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC7303-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC7303-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The base for this living-as-a-local trip is a traditional red-tiled house in Kataaki no Sato, a recreated old-style village. Creativity flows freely as artwork takes shape on the tatami mats by the veranda.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beneath the surface of Miyakojima\u2019s reputation as a tropical resort lies a profound and unique cultural tapestry. One of its most defining aspects is the deep-rooted faith born from ancestor worship and reverence for nature. In modern Japan, where visits to family graves are often limited to annual occasions\u2014if at all\u2014and belief in deities is increasingly rare, Miyakojima stands apart. Here, gods, spirits, and ancestors are omnipresent, woven into the fabric of daily life. Seeking advice from a shaman for personal troubles is considered entirely ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns cols-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001539_01-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001539_01-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001539_01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001539_01-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001539_01-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001539_01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001535_01-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001535_01-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001535_01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001535_01-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001535_01-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001535_01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001543_01-1024x713.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001543_01-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001543_01-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001543_01-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/R0001543_01.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This openness about the mystical is striking. Young and old, men and women alike, speak freely of hearing the voices of gods, spotting dragons, or witnessing the consequences of trespassing into sacred grounds. It\u2019s everyday conversation. Kiyo-san reflects, \u201cEver since traveling to Northern Europe, I\u2019ve become more attuned to the unseen, mystical presences in nature.\u201d Perhaps it\u2019s this sensitivity that has drawn her to such stories\u2014or drawn the stories to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last wp-block-paragraph\">The paintings she creates in Miyakojima reflect a world of depth and intrigue\u2014a fantastical, slightly strange realm that somehow warms the heart. Her work captures the essence of an unseen yet undeniably present beauty, painting vivid scenes of an otherworldly elegance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97021\" style=\"width:1014px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DSC4466-scaled.jpeg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cI enjoy traveling alone because changing my surroundings is so important to me.

The show will revolve around paintings produced during her recent stay in the forests of Finland late last year. One of the highlights is the emergence of new, previously unseen expressions in her work. Her pieces evoke a sense of warmth, at times contrasting light and shadows carrying a quiet, somber depth that subtly explores the themes of life and mortality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kiyo Matsumoto Solo Exhibition: Hideaway<\/strong><br>Dates: March 1 (Sat) \u2013 March 15 (Sat), 2025<br>Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays<br>Venue: SISON GALLERY <br>             3-18 Sarugakucho, Shibuya, Tokyo<br>Opening Hours: 1:00 PM \u2013 6:00 PM<br>Web:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/sison.tokyo\/\">http:\/\/sison.tokyo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image0-724x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image0-724x1024.jpeg 724w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image0-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image0-768x1087.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image0-1085x1536.jpeg 1085w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image0.jpeg 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Kiyo Matsumoto<\/strong><br>Born in 1995 in Hyogo Prefecture, Kiyo Matsumoto is an artist and actress.
