Toyota Municipal Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition 'Shigeru Hasegawa Pain Tengu' has been singled out by the art-focused program 'MEET YOUR ART' as one of its eight must-see exhibitions for the second half of 2026. The program, hosted by artist and performer Mirai Moriyama, highlighted the show as part of a roundup of notable exhibitions opening later in the year.

According to the source material, 'Shigeru Hasegawa Pain Tengu' is scheduled to open on 24 October 2026 at Toyota Municipal Museum of Art in Toyota, Japan. The museum’s inclusion in the program’s late-2026 list places the exhibition alongside other selected shows identified by the program as key entries in the period’s art calendar.

The museum, located in Toyota, is presenting the exhibition in autumn 2026, with the event date range recorded as starting on 24 October. No end date was provided in the source material. The available information does not give further curatorial details, theme descriptions or artist statements for the exhibition.

'Pain Tengu' appears in the title of the exhibition as 'Shigeru Hasegawa Pain Tengu', indicating that the exhibition is centered on or associated with artist Shigeru Hasegawa. Beyond the title and opening date, the verified source does not supply additional biographical or interpretive information about the artist, and no further specifics about the works on view were included.

The mention comes through 'MEET YOUR ART', an artistically focused program hosted by Moriyama. The program’s list presents 'Shigeru Hasegawa Pain Tengu' as one of eight exhibitions it considers especially worth watching in the latter half of 2026, but the source text does not indicate any ranking within the selection or compare the show to the others named in the roundup.

Toyota Municipal Museum of Art’s website and social media presence were identified in the source material, but the verified announcement itself is limited to the exhibition’s inclusion in the program’s list and its autumn opening date. As currently documented, 'Shigeru Hasegawa Pain Tengu' opens on 24 October 2026 at Toyota Municipal Museum of Art.
