SHIKISAISHA is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Nihonga artist Beniko Choji at OMIYA ART WALL and the adjacent soba restaurant SHABA.

Born and raised in Omiya, Choji continues to live and work in the city that has long shaped her artistic sensibility. For this exhibition, she turns her attention to bonsai, a cultural tradition deeply rooted in the Omiya region and closely connected to her own origins. The way bonsai condenses the passage of time and the presence of nature within a small vessel resonates with Choji’s ongoing exploration of line, space, and the subtle fluctuations of human emotion.
