Hiroshi Yanagi Oriental Art is excited to participate in Osaka International Art 2025, taking place from May 31 to June 1. Held concurrently with the Osaka Expo, this dynamic new art fair offers a rare platform to present their latest collection to a global audience.

Their featured exhibition, Shishi Komainu Plus (Lion and Guardian Dog +), delves into the rich cultural symbolism and artistic evolution of these iconic protective figures. On display will be three exceptional pairs of Shishi Komainu, accompanied by a curated selection of bronze sculptures honoring the diverse forms and meanings of dog imagery in Asian art.

They look forward to seeing you in Osaka soon!
