The long, hot summer is finally coming to an end.
When it gets cooler, I start to miss those harsh summers.
People enjoying their vacation as if they were living in an endless summer.
The pool is a dazzling contrast between sunlight and tranquility.
In the heat, you can almost hear the breeze and the swaying of the waves and palm trees.

At the end of summer, Hiroshi Nagai's exhibition will return to DAIKANYAMA TSUTAYA BOOKS.
This will be the seventh time the event has been held in two years.
This time, we will be selling new paintings created specifically for this exhibition, as well as reproductions, posters, and a collection of works.

 

*The final day will close at 8:00 p.m.
