Heisei Horishi Exhibition

[Sponsored] Heisei Horishi Exhibition 2025 Announcement

A special art exhibition featuring next-generation tattoo artists will be held across two cities: Kansai and Kanto. Artists from across Japan and abroad will gather to showcase their works.

Heisei Horishi Exhibition is an art showcase by tattoo artists born in the Heisei era. Analog artworks such as canvas paintings and sculptures will be exhibited and available for purchase. The 2025 exhibition theme is the zodiac sign “Snake”.

"I'm not planning to get a tattoo, but I'm interested in tattoo art." "I've never had a chance to engage with tattoo culture."
This event aims to provide an open space for anyone to discover the beauty of tattoo art.

A visitor vote contest will be held! Cast your vote for your favorite work and join a lottery for limited-edition merchandise!

Additionally, pop-up shops will appear by INK WORLD (tattoo gear/apparel) and ANOTHER SUPPLY (tattoo supply maker). Come for the art—stay for the shopping!

Visitors will receive a printed pamphlet and an original Heisei Horishi sticker as a gift.
