The Hanshin Umeda Main Store's 8th-floor gallery, Hello Culture 2, will host the solo exhibition "Naohiro Masuda Oil Painting Exhibition ~Searching for the Primal Landscape of the Heart~" from Wednesday, October 29, to Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Artist Naohiro Masuda paints 'primal landscapes'—scenes familiar from one's birthplace or seemingly seen before, which deeply relate to the formation of individual identity. Masuda hopes his work evokes nostalgia or joy by tapping into unconscious memories, thereby connecting the sensibilities of the viewer to his own vision. Masuda, born in Nara Prefecture, resumed his artistic activities in 2010 after a hiatus and has since received recognition, including an award at the Hoki Museum Platinum Grand Prize Exhibition in 2021 and a silver prize at the 45th Exhibition of Contemporary Painting in 2022.
