Exhibition title: [PAGE]
Surreality In Reality presents
Japanese Art Exhibition and Performances

The third series of this Japanese art exhibition, featuring live performances, will be presented by a plethora of mind-blowing Japanese local talent known as S.I.R.(Surreality In Reality). Introducing Japanese traditional culture just in time for the falling of Autumn leaves: for this, the season of reading, each artist visually depicts creations inspired by their favorite prominent Japanese poet or novelist. Since the age of The Tale of Genji, Autumn has been considered to be the ideal season of the annual cycle for one's complete immersion and enjoyment of literature, a foundation upon which they can rest their weary souls after the hectic, humid, eventful zenith of Summer. And while the eternal transition of seasons propels us towards the future, the world of legendary artists can be summoned through universal emotions that lure you to turn the pages of your internal journey of life stories.
