SEASONS IN DESIGN
THE PENINSULA TOKYO Tokyo, Japan
The Peninsula Tokyo was conceived by architect Kazukiyo Sato and interior designer Yukio Hashimoto as a space where Japanese culture and the shifting seasons are expressed in a manner both modern and timeless. Unlike many luxury hotels in Japan that adopt an international aesthetic, The Peninsula Tokyo chose to embrace a distinctly Japanese identity. The result is a contemporary property that resonates deeply with cultural heritage.
Nearly 1,000 artworks are displayed throughout the hotel, created by nearly 60 artists—most of whom are Japanese. Many pieces incorporate traditional techniques, reinterpreting time-honored craftsmanship for a modern context. At the heart of The Lobby, a striking bamboo sculpture by designer Keisen Hama depicts a dragon stretched across the universe—a mythical creature symbolizing strength and protection, believed to ward off evil spirits.
This dedication to art as a living presence continues through Art in Resonance, The Peninsula’s platform for local artistic collaboration. A recent commission by father-and-son Kamon artists Shoryu and Yoho Hatoba features spring and autumn motifs printed on 112 strips of washi paper. This captivating installation celebrates both the beauty of Japan’s seasons and the enduring legacy of its artistic traditions.
