The Japanese word \u00ab\u00a0tsukumogami\u00a0\u00bb (\u4ed8\u55aa\u795e) refers to a specific concept in Japanese mythology and culture: literally translated, \u00ab\u00a0tsukumogami\u00a0\u00bb means \u00ab\u00a0spirit hidden in objects.\u00a0\u00bb
This term refers to inanimate objects that, after a certain time, around a hundred years, transform into spirits. A hundred years is enough for an object to acquire a soul, absorbing the passing time and the wisdom that comes with it. Belief holds that objects bring good fortune to those who care for them, and misfortune to those who mistreat them, so over time objects can acquire a grateful and benevolent soul or a vengeful and cursed one. This mythological concept emphasizes that the importance of things does not depend on their economic value, but rather on the relationship and feelings of those who have used them for a long time.
The legend of \u00ab\u00a0tsukumogami\u00a0\u00bb reflects the Japanese belief that objects possess an intrinsic soul or spirit and must be treated with respect and care. It is believed that this belief originated from Shinto religion, which attributes a soul not only to living beings but also to natural elements and objects.
The figure of \u00ab\u00a0tsukumogami\u00a0\u00bb has deeply influenced Japanese culture, appearing in folk tales, works of art, theater, and even in modern manga and anime.
\u00ab\u00a0SOUL-Tsukumogami\u00a0\u00bb aims to be a starting point for a careful reflection on the relationship between humans and the things that surround them. Art itself is a \u00ab\u00a0thing\u00a0\u00bb – an \u00ab\u00a0object\u00a0\u00bb that
possesses a soul and expresses it to the viewer. The exhibition will give artists the opportunity to express themselves on the concept of spirituality and the connection that exists between them and their works.

The exhibition \u201cSOUL-Tsukumogami\u201d is a profound tribute to Japanese culture, specifically to the concept of \u201ctsukumogami\u201d, which is the idea that inanimate objects can acquire a soul after surviving a century of existence. This notion reflects the belief that the objects around us are not mere tools of daily utility but bearers of an intrinsic life, similar to that of works of art that hold deep and unique meanings. The exhibition explores the role of art and artists in imparting value and knowledge through creation, promoting a cultural exchange that invites broad reflections.
The question that arises is: what value do we attribute to the objects that populate our daily lives? The care of these objects requires sustained commitment, attention, and constant dedication; however, how many people are truly willing to invest such resources? The artists participating in this exhibition have brilliantly responded to these questions, creating works that stimulate personal and collective reflection. Their creations are invitations to pause, even briefly, for a moment of contemplation and silence, allowing us to connect with ourselves, with the surrounding environment, and with the innermost essence of the things we observe and perceive.
The exhibition \u201cSOUL-Tsukumogami\u00a0\u00bb celebrates not only art but also the secret life of everyday objects, offering spaces for pure contemplation and reflection. The presented works, created by carefully selected artists, use their unique visual language to offer the audience special visions and profound inspirations, inviting prolonged reflection on the uniqueness and intrinsic meaning of things that are often taken for granted.
