Soup as Life

March 27 (Fri), 2026 - August 9 (Sun), 2026

Food, clothing and shelter are considered the minimum requirements for human life. While clothing and shelter wrap us from outside, food fills us within. This exhibition is directed by Natsumi Tōyama, a designer with wide interest in food, clothing and shelter. She sets soup as the main axis of her design activity, believing that soup can contain rich nutritious elements in their simplest dietary form. Food is the theme of this exhibition, which interacts with the five senses. Soup is the means to address Tōyama’s lifework and the boundaries between food, clothing and shelter.
