PALACE HOTEL TOKYO With over 1,000 pieces making up Palace Hotel Tokyo’s extensive art collection, there are more than a fair few that guests wouldn’t mind relocating to their homes. Upon check-in, visitors are captivated by the large Echoes-Crystallization wall installation by Shinji Ohmaki, which depicts an endangered species of Japanese flowers through crystal powder and marble. Another sizeable piece, a bit too large to tuck into luggage, is Masahito Katayama’s Sunflower painting, that would bring a bit of sunshine and warmth into anyone’s living room. ILHA 49
