Yuri Kanshou Love Week 2026
oxoxo (zero by zero) will join "Yuri Kanshou Love Week 2026" — a lily-viewing event held at the Yuri Garden of Samezu Irie Hiroba Park in Shinagawa, Tokyo (organized by NPO Shinagawa Hanakaido). We will exhibit on the second half of the run, Saturday June 6 and Sunday June 7, 2026, presenting interactive works among the lilies in full bloom.
On view will be KALEIDO LINK, a kaleidoscope work that transforms the lilies into geometric imagery through mirror reflections, and SHAKE SYNC, a block-shaped product whose light color changes when shaken. Both pieces are participatory works for visitors of all ages, offering a new way to look at the early-summer lily garden.
On both days we will also run two drop-in workshops: build your own small KALEIDO LINK from styrene board and mirrors, or make flowers, fish, and fireworks with SHAKE SYNC blocks. Peek at the lilies through the kaleidoscope or arrange the color-shifting blocks — either way, the familiar scene takes on a new face.
For the full program — stage events, Bon dance, food stalls, workshops, and more — please see the organizer's official page.

On the Day
Surrounded by lilies in full bloom, many visitors came to experience KALEIDO LINK and SHAKE SYNC. Children peeked at the lilies and the scenery through the small kaleidoscopes they had built themselves, and families played with the color-shifting blocks — enjoying an early-summer day from a slightly different point of view.
