The Yokosuka Museum of Art has announced ‘Moonlight, Sparkling Stars,’ an exhibition of work by Japanese artist Rokuro Taniuchi. The exhibition is scheduled to open on September 5, 2026, at the Rokuro Taniuchi Hall in Yokosuka, Japan, as a commemorative exhibition marking the hall’s reopening.
The announcement identifies the presentation as the first-term exhibition for fiscal 2026. Its full title is ‘Moonlight, Sparkling Stars: From the Cover Illustrations for Weekly Shincho and the Picture Book Binsora.’ The wording indicates that the exhibition will draw from two bodies of Taniuchi’s work: his cover illustrations for the magazine ‘Weekly Shincho’ and material connected with the picture book ‘Binsora.’
The museum’s notice describes the exhibition as a program of the Rokuro Taniuchi Hall, a dedicated space named for the artist. It does not provide a closing date, the number of works to be shown, or further information about the exhibition’s layout and accompanying programs.
Taniuchi is represented in the announcement through his work for ‘Weekly Shincho’ and ‘Binsora,’ with the contrast between magazine cover imagery and picture-book illustration forming the exhibition’s stated scope. No additional biographical information or curatorial commentary was included in the published notice.
The exhibition is due to begin on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at the Rokuro Taniuchi Hall in Yokosuka. The announcement does not specify an end date.
