The “Artist in Hotel” project is Park Hotel Tokyo’s version of “Artist in Residence” programs, whereby Japanese artists stay at the hotel and paint on walls and ceilings in guest rooms based on the concept “beauty of Japan.” In 2017, the project was honored at the Japan Tourism Awards.
As an extra production of “Artist in Hotel” project, new paintings is created at the hotel entrance which is an important space that welcome guests into the Park Hotel Tokyo, the elevator hall on the B2F.
Artist OZ-Yamaguchi Keisuke, who created Artist Room Kabuki in the “Artist in Hotel” project, have painted under the theme of “HAZAMA (interstitial space).” The elevator hall is now a space between everyday life and an art hotel with the concept “beauty of Japan,” and leads all guests to once-in-a-lifetime experiences at Park Hotel Tokyo.

We live our lives, conscious of the potential of “HAZAMA (interstitial space)”.
The existence of “HAZAMA” which lie dormant within the universe – in relation to nature, in relation to people, in relation to time, in relation to spaces – enrich our senses.
In the depths of the lines and forms drawn in this alley, do “HAZAMA” exist?
In the “HAZAMA” and beyond between usual and extraordinary life, there awaits a dimension of “Infinite time and space amid cognizant Japanese beauty”.
