Editor's Note by Takeshi HIRATA

This exhibition is composed with the past and latest works by Yoshitaka Echizenya, Shunsuke Suzuki, Kentaro Tomoeda, and Toyomi Yamazaki, along with the gallery collections of Hiroyuki Omori, Nobuyuki Takahashi, Naoki Funakoshi, and Hisao Matsuura. Such a collection exhibition which includes non-collection works like this one, might work to bring a new potential out in the mutual effect. For example, the different style works by Nobuyuki Takahashi and Hisao Matsuura are displayed to each other in this exhibition. It makes the difference of both the paintings remarkable, and offers us a further enjoyable experience to view them. Could I call this kind of experiences "Gifts"?
