On Sunday, March 22, 2026, the Sunday edition of the Irish Independent, one of Ireland’s leading national newspapers, featured our exhibition A Celtic Memory: Hiroki Asano Exhibition, held from February 20 to 23, 2026.
The article is also available in its digital edition.

The article describes, with both surprise and warmth from the Irish perspective, how the landscapes, culture, and motifs encountered in Ireland were reinterpreted through traditional Japanese techniques and brought to life in A Celtic Memory: Hiroki Asano Exhibition.
Hiroki Asano Exhibtion - A Celtic Memory
"I grew up watching my father work, always facing his craft with total focus. I admired him, and that led me to join our family business, Shokuraku Asano 12 years ago.
When I visited Ireland in August, I was struck by the depth of history and culture woven into the landscape, and by the strength of its motifs and colours. Turning that experience into something I could express through Nishijin weaving, and bringing it to life as an obi, was a major challenge.
I hope you’ll be able to visit my first solo exhibition and see what I’m making now; work shaped by what I’ve learned from my father and at Shokuraku Asano, and by my own experiences along the way.
