High Spirits and You Co., Ltd. will hold an original art exhibition at mio camino Amakusa in Kamiamakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, from Saturday, May 2nd to Sunday, May 10th, 2026. This exhibition commemorates the publication of the ROMANs art book 'Amakusa Shiro - The Legendary Boy,' produced with the cooperation of Kamiamakusa City and the Amakusa Shiro Museum. This project aims to re-introduce Amakusa Shiro, a historical figure of the region, as contemporary art, set in Amakusa during Golden Week.

This original art exhibition will display the original artworks included in the art book, allowing visitors to closely observe the brushstrokes, colors, and the atmosphere of the work's world that cannot be fully conveyed on paper. It will be an opportunity to experience the charm of this work, which reinterprets Amakusa Shiro not just as a historical figure, but as a symbol of prayer and hope. The artworks embody a worldview where "mythology, philosophy, and pop visual expression intersect."

What is ROMANs?

Pop Art Brand from Rome

ROMANs is an art brand originating from Rome, Italy.

The pop-style art created by Giorgio Saurini explores deep philosophical themes such as "What is humanity?" and "What is life?"

mio camino Amakusa, the venue, serves as a hub for regional culture and tourism. During Golden Week, it will offer visitors to Amakusa an experience where local history, stories, and art intersect. Through the publication of the art book and the original art exhibition, we aim to widely disseminate the story of Amakusa Shiro in a new form.
