Slash Kawasaki Welcomes Spring with an Exciting Entrance Collaboration Painting
At slash kawasaki, we hold special seasonal events where guests can experience art throughout the year.
For spring 2025, we hosted a live painting event at the hotel entrance by the artist Kazunobu Nakamoto.
Theme of the Painting: Heart and Present
The illustration, inspired by Valentine’s Day, White Day, and the season of new encounters in spring, features an adorable cat character. The emotions of the cat character come to life as heart-shaped figures that engage in conversation and discussion.
With cherry blossom petals dancing in the air, the artwork perfectly captures the uplifting feeling of spring.
The illustration was drawn from scratch on a clear blue glass surface.
