hideya × Minami Area

For me, born and raised in Osaka, this city is not just my hometown but the place that nurtured my sensibilities. Graffiti blends into the alleyways, and in Namba, the emotions of my youth intersect. This event brings together a wide variety of contemporary art in Osaka. I believe that the way of art, which can be interpreted freely, will create a special moment where nostalgia and freshness intersect. Please come and explore the area!

Minami Area

(Namba / Abeno)

In the lively Minami area, you can enjoy the typical bustle of Osaka, centering on Namba and including Dotombori and Shinsekai. Why not immerse yourself in the friendly atmosphere by watching a comedy show at the Manzai Theater or sampling some takoyaki and kushikatsu as you walk around?
