The new exhibition by Masaya Hashimoto introduces his two series. One is flower series, consisting of white sculptures. Those works are made of deer antlers and bone, and this series started from a death of a deer. Hashimoto accompanied with a hunter to the mountain in winter, and faced with its death. The deer was left as bone, meat and skin to Hashimoto. His sculptures of narcissus and cherry blossom were made in 2010. The other series is ornaments for the head with his head as motif. The series is made of lacquered rhino's horn in 2009.
