Many art pieces are displayed within Sankei Building's properties. We request cooperation from our group's affiliate, the Chokoku-no-Mori Art Foundation (a public interest incorporated foundation), to lend us art owned by the foundation. By displaying art appropriate for the region and space, we allow users to enjoy spaces enriched with art.

"Iliad Japan" (Top Image)
(Tokyo Sankei Building, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)
Artist: Alexander Lieberman
Nationality: Russian-American
Year: 1987
Material: Steel, paint
Size: H 1420 × W 1500 × D 1280 cm

Amidst the modern skyscrapers of Otemachi, Tokyo, this massive vermilion sculpture is exceptionally eye-catching. The design, multiplying toward the sky on pillars rising from the earth, seems to imply the creation and regeneration of civilization. The chain of elliptical cross-sections created by diagonally cut cylinders plays powerful and rhythmic music. The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem about the Trojan War, attributed to Homer. This monumental work truly embodies Lieberman, who said, "What is important in art is the sense of awe and overwhelming energy through scale."

In the open atrium extending from the 1st to 6th floors of BREEZÉ BREEZÉ, light- and color-based art covers the entire wall. Evoking a vast, colorful forest space where leaves rustle and seem to dance, it provides visitors with healing and a sense of peace.

In the passage (B1F) connecting the underground walkway of Nishi-Umeda, the "City of Water," to BREEZÉ BREEZÉ, a fantastic introductory space is created featuring "Tokolo Arabesque" patterns that carve a flowing water motif. The continuity of water, woven from individual pieces, welcomes people to BREEZÉ BREEZÉ, creating a hospitable space that is modern yet gentle.
