WALLS TOKYO is pleased to present "Where Life Returns", a solo exhibition by Tomoko Sue, on view from May 1 to May 25, 2025.
Since 2013, Sue has been painting the sea surrounding Kudaka Island, a remote island in Okinawa.
Her latest works are inspired by Niraikanai, a mythical paradise believed in Okinawan folklore to lie beyond the eastern sea—a sacred place where life originates and ultimately returns.
This exhibition will feature and offer for sale a selection of new works created in contemplation of this spiritual journey.

Artist:
Tomoko Sue’s works are Japanese paintings on hemp paper painted with mineral pigments. She senses the presence of the gods in the great outdoors, and paints images of the mystique and the fundamental connection between nature and mankind. In recent years, he has applied the momigami technique of Japanese painting to depict images of the remote Okinawan island of Kutaka, known as the "Island of the Gods. The image of Hisaka Island, where the entire island is considered sacred, is depicted as if the island is created in beautiful blue colors.
Our artworks are also available for purchase through our online store.
