Born in 1944, Naoko Majima has continued to depict worlds of life, sexuality, and chimerical spirits, drawing from her formative encounter with “death” during the Isewan Typhoon. She also garnered significant attention in the exhibition Kenshin no Yume (Dreams of Apparition), which explored themes of visionary experience.
This exhibition, Self-Questioning (Jimonji), centers on previously unpublished pen and watercolor works on paper created between 1994 and 1995, tracing an open-ended trajectory of contemplation that persistently asks: What is the “self”?
