Hajime Ueda's Solo Exhibition USO Opens in Shibuya With Two-Phase Format
The exhibition's two-phase structure, with works changing between halves, is an unusual format for a solo show and signals Ueda is treating the event as an evolving installation rather than a static display.

Hajime Ueda's solo exhibition "USO" opens June 13 at Déesse space caiman shibuya in Tokyo, running in two halves with new works added between them. The show features newly drawn pieces themed around "Oni no Ko" and "Hell Nurse," plus unreleased illustrations, rough sketches, three-dimensional objects, and the artist's first silkscreen goods. Admission is 500 yen with a Cheki card or 1,500 yen with an acrylic stand. The gallery is closed Mondays through Wednesdays.
The exhibition space will shift between a first half (June 13-28) and a second half (July 3-20), with works added or replaced during the break. Ueda is focusing on analog new pieces, including S30-size "Oni no Ko Ashura" and F30-size "Life-size Image Oni no Ko." Alongside original illustrations, the show includes unreleased drawings, rough sketches, and three-dimensional objects. For the first time, Ueda is selling silkscreen works. Admission is 500 yen with a Cheki card or 1,500 yen with an acrylic stand.
