- From Photography to Woodworking, Tea Ceremony, and Mingei -
June 21 (Sat), 2025, 10:00 to 20:00, June 22 (Sun), 10:00 to 18:00
From June 16 (Mon) to June 20 (Fri),The exhibition will be reduced in scale from June 16 (Mon.) to 20 (Fri.).
Venue: Coworking Lobby NESTo
7-4 Ōtsuka, Ogawa-machi, Hiki-gun, Saitama 355-0328, Japan Access: 6-minute walk from Ogawa-machi Station (Tobu Tojo Line / JR Hachiko Line)
(Approximately 70 minutes from Ikebukuro / 80 minutes from Hachioji)
We are pleased to present "Art in Organic Form," a solo exhibition by artist Daisuke Hayata in Ogawamachi, Saitama Prefecture, a place where the rich nature of satoyama (rural mountain landscapes) and diverse traditional crafts thrive. The venue is NESTo, a coworking lobby converted from a 100-year-old stone storehouse.
While primarily focused on photographic expression, Hayata has crossed various disciplines—running "Old Mingei Hayata," which collects and introduces folk crafts from around the world; exploring traditional Edo joinery woodworking techniques; and practicing the art of tea ceremony. This exhibition reveals the "organic connections" and philosophy underlying these seemingly different practices, offering a multifaceted introduction to Hayata's creative world.
As a new work, we will screen the video piece "Vestige" that delicately fuses the spirit of the tea ceremony with contemporary environmental issues (approximately 5 minutes, June 20 and 21 only). This work was filmed in the forests of Ogawamachi with the full cooperation of NESTo and the local community.
Ogawamachi, the venue for this exhibition, is located just one hour by train from Tokyo, yet maintains a serene environment away from urban bustle. It is known as one of Japan's premier organic farming communities and is internationally recognized for its traditional handmade Japanese paper, including Hosokawa paper, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. We hope you will experience the nature of "Art in Organic Form" in this space where expression and life, place and people intersect.

Place：Nokogiri II https://nokogiri2.com
4-11-3, Kagoya 4-chome, Ichinomiya-shi,
Aichi 494-0002, Japan
Daisuke Hayata has been creating "GOLDEN SHEEP" since 2012 as a phantom sheep that could only be depicted in the mind of Japanese people, focusing on the history of sheep in Japan, where they have never lived. This time, knowing that Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, and Hashima City, Gifu Prefecture, are major centers of the wool industry that began in Japan during the Meiji Era, Daisuke decided to create and exhibit his new work at the Ichinomiya City Museum in Aichi Prefecture and at a factory that has been in operation since the Taisho Era (1912-1926). The exhibition will be held at "Nokogiri II," a former woolen textile factory that has been repurposed as an art gallery.
In addition to photographs printed on Japanese paper, the exhibition will include a projection that makes use of the space and three-dimensional works. Visitors can experience the representation of the absence of sheep in Japan in the historical building of a former woolen mill.

The adjudication of "ALLOTMENT TRAVEL AWARD 2010" 10.2010
The adjudication from the Allotment Travel Award I received in March last year has been posted to the internet. The competition judges, Chiharu Nishimura (art and film critic) and Masakatsu Kondo (artist), have detailed the process leading up to the grand prize and featured the portfolios of the nine people who made it through to the final stage.
Below is an excerpt from the page:
“With respect to the photographs, many of the artists, such as Yoichi Sano, Yamotsu Kido, Daisuke Hayata and Tomoe Murakami had a clear style. Their pictures are more than mere documentaries, in that they demonstrate use of the camera to capture light figuratively. Each have developed their own personal methodologies and have produced works of a very high standard, making for an overall high level competition.”
“In the end we decided upon Daisuke Hayata. One of the key reasons for the decision was because of the anticipation he built by electing to explore the possibilities of the completely unknown”. (Chiharu Nishimura)
“Daisuke Hayata’s photographic works are produced by shooting in night environments where there is no artificial light, so his only source of illumination is the moon.
The world of darkness that he was theoretically pondering was an all encompassing single darkness (an anonymous world), void of any division between objects and space. But when he actually took the photographs his expectations were betrayed: subtle divisions floated forth, so that in the final works the subject places are just barely identifiable. Daisuke’s works are extremely simple, but the wonder he feels is reflected in a captivating way. I felt a desire to support this artist for his ability to recognize the gap between his intention and the finished work as being the crucial key to releasing the work from his own intellect and thus heading back out into the darkness.” (Masakatsu Kondo)
During The Month of Photography, Tokyo 2010 Gallery
MUSÉE F will be hosting the latest exhibition from Daisuke
Hayata. Since his last exhibition ‘UBATAMA’, a production
themed around darkness which was shown at Gallery KOBO
CHIKA in June 2009, Hayata’s works have also featured at
Art Osaka 2009 and Slick 2009 in Paris. In February 2010 he
was awarded the Allotment Travel Award for up and coming artists. This next exhibition will feature around 8 of his new
works.
Receiving a prize of ALLOTMENT TRAVEL AWARD 2010 03.2010
(The following is extracted from ALLOTMENT web page)
Outline
“Allotment” is a travel award established in 2009 to commemorate the life and work of artist Naoko Yogo.
The Allotment award provides opportunities for young Japanese artists to travel, with the aim of enhancing their experience, broadening their knowledge and vision, and developing and nurturing their work.
Before Naoko passed away in 2005, she devoted a lot of time and energy to her allotment in South London. It was an important part of her life, a source of great joy as well as hard work. In his text for Naoko’s book, Chris Roberts recalls one of her stories about her allotment: “There were no taps on the allotment so she had to carry water there herself […] She had worked out the bare minimum each plant required, no more than a glassful each […] it was just a small habitual act of kindness that would result in something coming to fruition.”
For Naoko, there was no difference between working on her art and on her allotment: they coexisted as vital parts of her life. In both, she worked with enthusiasm and care, paying attention to small details. Though each required a great deal of patience, she never compromised. She went through a constant process of trial and error in order to accomplish what she set out to do.
The Allotment travel award will reflect Naoko’s life and legacy by supporting artists who, like her, are guided by a passion to produce their work and yet endeavour to pursue their dreams.
All proceeds from the sales of Naoko’s book and photographs will be donated to the Allotment fund.
