Art Cafe Ito Yufu (operated by Entame Inc.) in Kyoto will host the exhibition 'Traveling! Eriashi Shoten Ten' by 'Eriashi Shoten,' created by human beatboxer SHOW-GO.
'Eriashi Shoten' is a 'craftsmanship shop' born from the flow of multiple expressions, including SHOW-GO's human beatboxing and his musical activities under the name Shougo.
It translates his inner worldview not only into sound but also into forms such as illustrations and T-shirts, extending his expression into 'daily life.' ■Exhibition Concept
This exhibition is not a conventionally curated exhibition space, but rather is structured as an 'extension of life,' close to the daily life and senses of SHOW-GO/Shougo himself.
By incorporating furniture and miscellaneous goods that appear in SHOW-GO/Shougo's music videos into the space, it becomes a place where visitors can experience firsthand how his expressions naturally blend into everyday life.
You can feel how expressions born from sound transform into tangible forms in a relaxed atmosphere. ■Exhibition and Sales Content
Original Illustration Exhibition Illustrations drawn based on the worldview of SHOW-GO/Shougo will be exhibited.
These works are visual representations of the feelings and images born from his musical activities.
T-shirt Exhibition T-shirts hand-printed one by one using silk screen by SHOW-GO/Shougo himself will be exhibited (some will be available for sale).
Even when using the same screen, each piece has a different appearance due to variations in ink application, blurring, and minute misalignments, directly reflecting the unique nuances of handmade items.
Each item stands on its own, embracing imperfections and negative space, unlike mass-produced products.
QUTOTEN. Collaboration Yunomi (Teacups) Collaboration items with the craft brand 'QUTOTEN.' will be sold.
These pieces combine designs reflecting SHOW-GO/Shougo's sensibilities with the aesthetic of a vessel.

These will be distributed to customers who order a drink. One coaster will be given per drink ordered.
These are special designs created exclusively for this exhibition.
About SHOW-GO / Shougo
As a human beatboxer, SHOW-GO has performed internationally, earning acclaim for his high technical skill and unique style. Subsequently, he expanded his artistic expression by starting musical activities under the name Shougo, developing his musical expression in a broader context beyond the framework of beatboxing.
'Eriashi Shoten' was born as an extension of these activities. Expressions that began with sound transform into illustrations and products, permeating daily life. This flow itself is the core of this project.
Furthermore, SHOW-GO/Shougo has long served as a model and ambassador for the craft brand 'QUTOTEN.' and has held numerous musical events in the form of 'Ambient Sessions' at past exhibitions. This exhibition was realized at Art Cafe Ito Yufu, produced by QUTOTEN., as an extension of that relationship.
SHOW-GO/Shougo regularly enjoys cafes and crafts, and this project is being held in a space that is an extension of such daily life. ■About Eriashi Shoten
'Eriashi Shoten' is a 'craftsmanship shop' that expands the sensibilities and images within SHOW-GO/Shougo into visuals and tangible objects, not just sound.
Expressions born from human beatboxing and musical activities under the name Shougo take shape as illustrations and products, entering daily life.
Expressions that began with sound become 'things' through manual work. This process itself is the essence of 'Eriashi Shoten.' ■About Art Cafe Ito Yufu
Art Cafe Ito Yufu is a gallery cafe operated by crossing over between a cafe and an exhibition, located in a renovated traditional Kyoto townhouse that was formerly a tobacco shop.
Its concept, 'Ito Yufu' (meaning 'celestial thread' or 'mirage'), also refers to the shimmering heat haze, signifying a sense of fluctuation or presence. The space, vessels, coffee, and artworks gently overlap, creating an experience where a thread connects people and art.
It is not a place for formal viewing like a museum, but rather a stage for this project where one can encounter art naturally in the extension of daily life. ■About Craft Brand QUTOTEN.
QUTOTEN. is a brand that reinterprets the concept of crafts based on Japanese traditional culture and thought, proposing them for contemporary life with the concept 'Leave space in your life.'
Vessels and tools are not merely functional objects but also elements that influence human actions and the flow of time.
QUTOTEN. focuses on crafts as objects that create such 'invisible spaces' and develops products in collaboration with artisans. ■Exhibition Overview Exhibition Title: 'Traveling!
