Four works from Yuki Harada’s Shadowing series—Dan, Suzu, Rie, and Tomigoro—have been acquired by the Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto.

Dan features Pidgin translation and narration by Dwayne Mukai of the Hawaii Island Kumamoto Kenjin-kai, while Suzu and Rie are based on autobiographical writings by Barbara F. Kawakami, who was born in Kumamoto. Together with Tomigoro, which speaks of a “boat with a crooked rudder,” the works form a composition in which voices originating in Kumamoto resonate dynamically.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who who supported this acquisition.

– The sixth piece, filmed in 2024 at CUBE (Tochigi)

Each work spans 24 hours, meaning a total of 72 hours of moving image have now entered the museum’s collection.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported this acquisition.

We will share the details again once the works are publicly presented.

Thanks to a generous donation from anonymous art project, three works from Yuki Harada’s Shadowing series (Isabella, Rie, Tomigoro) have newly joined the public collection of The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto.

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa has newly added Yuki Harada’s Waiting for and five works from the Shadowing series (Kenji, Dan, Maiko, Suzu, Tomigoro) to its public collection.

It brings us great joy that these representative works have been welcomed into the very museum where Harada held his first solo exhibition at a public institution in 2021.

Our deepest gratitude goes to everyone who contributed to making this inclusion possible. Thank you so much.

Yuki Harada will participate in the exhibition #WhereDoWeStand?―Art in Our Time, which will be held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, starting December 20, 2025.
