Exhibition location: ESPACIO Nagoya Castle – Banquet Entrance (1st Floor)
White Dragon
The plaster wall artwork White Dragon by plaster artist Shuhei Hasado welcomes guests at the banquet entrance of ESPACIO Nagoya Castle. Employing traditional plastering techniques, Hasado created two White Dragons in descent rather than ascent. A butterfly hovers in the space between them, forming a composition that evokes the invisible movement of the wind across the entire wall.
