Illustrator and animator Yoneyama Mai will hold her solo exhibition Arc at Kyoto Tsutaya Books from July 24 to August 18, 2026. The Kyoto edition of the show, which first ran in Ginza in 2025, adds new works including a piece titled Piéces and sells limited-edition silk-screen reproductions.
Yoneyama Mai's solo exhibition Arc, which debuted at Ginza Tsutaya Books in 2025, will travel to Kyoto Tsutaya Books for a summer 2026 run. The Kyoto edition runs from July 24 to August 18 and adds a new piece titled Piéces, which the studio SSS by applibot describes as an art piece that layers the human act of gathering fragments of nature and living things into creation with Yoneyama's own creative process.
The show also offers a limited run of 100 silk-screen reproduction prints of Piéces, available by order during the exhibition period. Other displayed works will be for sale as well. Additional merchandise includes a 1/7-scale art figure and a limited-edition slipcase version of the 2023 art book EYE YONEYAMA MAI.
Yoneyama, born in 1988 in Nagano Prefecture and affiliated with SSS by applibot, is known for character design and animation direction on works such as Kiznaiver, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and the Lazarus ending animation. Her previous solo shows include SHE (2019), EGO (2021), and EYE (2023). Admission is free.
