Chiharu Shiota is illustrating each episode of The Trainee (Praktikantin), a novel by Yoko Tawada that has been serialized in the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper since November 25, 2023. This show exhibits original paintings of these illustrations. With the number of original paintings exhibited gradually increasing due to the fact that the novel is still being serialized, there will eventually be a total of 361 paintings.

Goods
-
"Tsunagaru Tawashi" scrubbing brush made by Chiharu Shiota's mother and her friends: 500 yen (including tax)
-
Each of these cute, strawberry-shaped acrylic scrubbing brushes is knitted by hand by Chiharu Shiota's mother and her friends. The brushes are made by reusing yarn that was actually utilized in Shiota's installations. The Japanese name for the scrubbing brush (tawashi), "Tsunagaru Tawashi," is a play on the Japanese name of the exhibition, which could be read literally as "Tsunagaru Watashi" (meaning “Connected I’s”). The fact that each one is slightly different in size is another sign of it being handmade.
-
A heat-sensitive mug that changes color when filled with hot liquid: 2,900 yen (including tax)
-
This mug is adorned with a drawing created by Chiharu Shiota for this exhibition. When filled with hot liquid, the color of the drawing gradually changes from black to red.
-
Eight types of towel handkerchiefs!: 1,100 yen (tax included) each
* Images are for illustrative purposes only. -
These towel handkerchiefs are designed with motifs taken from Chiharu Shiota's drawings and embroidery. They have a simple design that is easy to use.
The towel handkerchiefs come in eight types, so you can choose the ones you like. They also make great souvenirs.

Menu item
Dish in red × connections
Royal-style Shiranuka ezoshika venison
Concept
This dish interweaves the "red," "threads," "connections," and "life" that are key for Shiota when creating her art.
This cold parmentier dish combines ezoshika venison and Setouchi six grain pork luxuriously simmered in red wine with potatoes.
It is fashioned magnificently into potato and beet paste in a red spiral.
On top, it is decorated with a crane, evoking a connection with peace.

Menu item
Name of cocktail: ENISHI
Concept
Inspired by the idea of the bonds of fate that connect us spreading out and overlaying each other into the distance, this cocktail, ENISHI, consists of ingredients associated with the keyword "connection."
It uses Japanese liquor, which was created based on the idea of "connecting" traditional Japanese koji techniques. This is combined with yuzu syrup, which expresses the idea of "connecting" material and "connecting" harmony between people. Its taste, which brings to mind the "mixed juice" that is one of the famous products of Osaka, also makes this smoothie cocktail represent Shiota's connection to her place of origin.
It is also a cocktail that is pleasing to the eye, with the glass set with a red, salty tuile that brings to mind the installations made with threads for which Chiharu Shiota has become synonymous.

With the CHIHARU SHIOTA Cube, you can manipulate the cube to track Shiota's artistic career or trace the connections between individual works, getting an overall understanding of the art she has created using a variety of techniques, or focusing on individual works.
