The Peninsula Tokyo + Kaede + Art

The Peninsula Hotels continues to celebrate the cultural richness of each destination by highlighting local heritage through design, architecture, and thoughtful artistic collaborations. Each city’s distinct character is expressed with care and authenticity throughout every detail. 

Following the spring display of the Kamon artwork The Peninsula Tokyo + Sakura + Art, and the debut of The Peninsula Tokyo + Kaede + Art last autumn, The Peninsula Tokyo will once again present this Kamon installation, created in collaboration with renowned father-and-son artists Mr. Shoryu Hatoba and Mr. Yoho Hatoba. Returning for a second season, the artwork invites reflection on Japanese tradition and the refined beauty of autumn. 

This large-scale piece features the hotel’s original emblem, inspired by a maple leaf and incorporating a stylized “P” for Peninsula, set against a digitally reinterpreted national treasure painting from 1592. Measuring seven meters high by eleven meters wide, and printed on 112 strips of Japanese washi paper, the installation complements the warm and serene ambiance of The Lobby. 

Kamon—traditional family emblems—have been used in Japan for centuries to represent lineage, identity, and values. Created using only perfect circles and straight lines, these symbolic forms are preserved and reimagined by artists such as Mr. Shoryu and Mr. Yoho Hatoba, who continue this legacy with a contemporary sensibility across generations. 

The art piece will be displayed in The Lobby from September 1 to October 30, 2025.
