[FAS THE CRAFTS] FAS Kyoto Higashiyama Main Store to Host Solo Exhibition by Acrylic Artist Hideto Hyodo from April 20 to May 10

FAS, a fermented aging care brand developed by Shiroku Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuta Iizuka), will hold a solo exhibition for acrylic artist Hideto Hyodo at the FAS Kyoto Higashiyama Main Store from April 20, 2026 (Mon) to May 10, 2026 (Sun).

FAS, which began by fermenting ancient black rice grown in Kyotango, creates products that focus on traditional Japanese materials and craftsmanship. This curiosity extends beyond cosmetics, leading to the launch of 'FAS THE CRAFTS,' an initiative to convey the beauty of Japan through collaborations with various creators.

One such collaboration is with acrylic artist Hideto Hyodo. Hyodo is an acrylic craftsman who works in a wide range of three-dimensional expressions, from products and art pieces to tea utensils and store fixtures. For FAS, which uses water—a vital natural blessing—as a core element of its product development, Hyodo's acrylic sculptures representing water are displayed as signature pieces in the flagship store.

In this solo exhibition, held in the quiet space on the second floor of the main store (open only during events), visitors can enjoy a variety of expressions by Hyodo, including signature pieces, acrylic tea utensils, and his 'Like a stone, like water' series. Some works will be available for purchase; please ask staff for details on the day.
