At Ueno, the exhibition will be a solo show of past and new works, mainly large paintings, and at Gallery Hirota Bijutsu, it will be a solo show of new works, featuring more than a dozen ambitious works.

Takarada, who has been working on the theme of "Happiness," has been asking himself the question, "What makes people happy? Inspired by the conclusion of a Harvard University (U.S.A.) study, "What makes people happy? I am trying to give the viewer an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the existence of the artist's works. Seven years have passed since he completed his graduate studies, but he has yet to feel the significance of his work. However, she continues to create her works with the guideline, "I am sure that there is an important being by your side, and that is happiness," hoping that her works will be helpful to viewers and give them even a little hope.

In this solo exhibition, he will present more than 10 new works that explore new possibilities, including works that incorporate changes in shape, as well as regular two-dimensional paintings. We hope you will enjoy the exhibition.
