Park Hotel Tokyo Unveils its 50th Artist Room 'Utopia in Japan' - An Ideal Space with Cherry Blossoms and Parakeets

Sales for the new addition of the unique “Artist Rooms” —in which artists paint directly on the walls of guest rooms— have begun on October 21, 2025,

MINATO-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN, November 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Park Hotel Tokyo (operated by Shiba Park Hotel Co., Ltd., located in Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO Rentaro Yanase) has begun sales of “Utopia in Japan,” the 50th installment of its unique Artist Rooms series.

The 50th Artist Room, “Utopia in Japan,” is the first collaborative work by painter Nagisa Nakauchi and visual artist Wakako Kawakami. The moment the guestroom door opens, guests are greeted by fully blooming double cherry blossoms rising up to the ceiling, and parakeets flying freely throughout the room. It is a space enveloped in a sensation as if surrounded by the sky of spring, gently releasing the heart.

The theme of this room is “a place completely liberated from the worries of the floating world.” Two artists with different expressive techniques created a single ideal world while respecting each other's sensibilities.

Nagisa Nakauchi focused on the double cherry blossoms that have been loved since the Heian period, stating, “I wanted to depict the vitality that resides in the shape of the cherry blossom branches.” To faithfully reproduce the natural flow of the branches, she made numerous sketches and put her thoughts into each line.

Meanwhile, Wakako Kawakami is known for fabric-based installations and, in recent years, has been developing a world of “giant parakeets.” She explains, “I overlapped the image of parakeets playing freely with the idea of liberation from daily life,” and placed three-dimensional parakeet works throughout the room. They have a presence as if they are truly living within the space.

In this guestroom, where the cherry blossom paintings and three-dimensional parakeets coexist harmoniously like an ideal world, the power of kacho—the traditional Japanese aesthetic of flowers and birds—overflows. The artists hope that visitors will immerse themselves in this worldview and quietly reflect on the happiness they have at this very moment.

What Is an “Artist Room”?
Based on the concept of “a time-space where Japanese aesthetics can be experienced,” an artist paints directly on the walls and ceiling of a guestroom, expressing their worldview throughout the entire room. During the production period, the artist stays at the hotel while creating their work.
Artist Rooms are highly regarded by travelers from Japan and abroad and have received the Japan Tourism Awards – Area Excellence Award. They offer a one-of-a-kind experience combining art and accommodation.
