On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the 'Great Van Gogh Exhibition' currently held in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, will close. On the evening of its final day, you can experience the world of 'Cafe Terrace at Night,' as depicted in the exhibition's poster, at the terrace of stay & lounge Vase, operated by Order Made Japan Inc. A special one-night only collaboration event will be held. Local popular establishments and young talents will join forces to offer a blissful moment to savor the lingering impressions of the exhibition with all five senses.
**【Three Key Highlights of This Event】** 1. **'Night Cafe Terrace' with astonishing 'synchronicity with the painting'**: The 'Cafe Terrace at Night' depicted on the poster of the 'Great Van Gogh Exhibition' will be brought to life. At Vase's terrace seating, reminiscent of the cafe in Arles, France, which was the setting for the masterpiece, you can enjoy an immersive experience as if you've become an inhabitant of the famous painting. 2. **The ultimate 'food and beauty' where day and night faces merge**: A special collaboration will be presented just for this day. * **Jun's cafe**: A cafe that opened last November, serving from morning to cafe time, with the desire to create a place where many locals can gather casually. * **MAGIE NOIR**: A wonderful bar that pours its desire to 'let customers enjoy themselves in their own way amidst the gentle flow of time.' These two establishments will offer special menus that add splendor to the night. 3. **One-night only street corner museum adorned by young artist 'Gardener of Paintings'**: Works by 'Gardener of Paintings,' a young artist active in local Fukushima, will be specially exhibited. You can feel the sensibilities of a contemporary Fukushima artist, carrying forward the excitement of the Van Gogh exhibition. This event offers a space, slightly more casual than a museum, where you can face and discuss art.
**【Background of the Event】** On this special night, the finale of the 'Great Van Gogh Exhibition,' we wish to deliver our special sentiment of 'celebrating challenges and connecting people with heartfelt thoughts' through the scenery of a famous painting.
**The inherited will of support: The bond with Mr. Igarashi of MAGIE NOIR** The venue is 'Stay & Lounge Vase.' The cafe counter, where people connect and stories are born, is actually a sturdy counter table gifted by Mr. Igarashi, the owner of 'MAGIE NOIR,' a renowned establishment in Fukushima City. When Vase first opened, Mr. Igarashi, with a sincere desire to 'support young people taking on new challenges in the region,' entrusted this precious counter to them. This collaboration is, in a sense, a precious night where the 'will of support' etched into this counter has once again come to fruition over time.
**Vase as a place for challenge** Vase aspired to provide an environment like a 'Challenge Kitchen' to support people who wish to take on challenges in the region! It was in this context that they met Jun-san of 'Jun's Cafe,' who returned to Japan after training in Australia. With his aspiration to 'test his abilities in his hometown of Fukushima,' Vase has provided its space through a rental arrangement. This event will offer food and drinks that color the world of the famous painting.
