Aomori Museum of Art has announced academic cooperation with Rikkyo University for an exhibition titled 'Decoration Soul' at the university’s Rikkyō Gakuin Exhibition Hall in Tokyo, where artifacts connected to Aomori Prefecture are now on view. The museum’s social media post identifies the presentation as a collaboration linking Rikkyo, Jomon culture and Aomori, and says the display runs through August 8.
The announcement specifically notes that objects from the Onoeyama site in Hirosaki City are included, among them pottery from Aomori-related excavations. The museum framed the exhibition as an opportunity for visitors at Rikkyo University to see archaeological material associated with the prefecture, with the post directing audiences to the campus venue before the end of the run.
According to the source material, the exhibition title in Japanese is '#装飾する魂', rendered here as 'Decoration Soul'. The museum’s post does not provide a full checklist of works or artifacts, but it makes clear that the presentation centers on Jomon-period material and that the selected pieces are tied to Aomori’s archaeological heritage.
Aomori Museum of Art’s involvement is identified as academic support rather than a hosting role, and the source does not indicate that the museum itself is the exhibition site. The venue named in the announcement is Rikkyo University College Exhibition Hall, in Tokyo, where the show is open from August 3 to August 8.
The post also positions the display within a broader exchange between Rikkyo University and Aomori, using the phrasing “Rikkyo x Jomon x Aomori.” No additional programming, related events or further institutional partners are listed in the source material. The museum’s notice was published on August 3, the first day of the exhibition period.
