In the spring of 2020, our lives were drastically altered by an unknown infectious disease. Even today, the world remains in a chaotic state, and many people’s lives are fraught with anxiety. This has caused us to look more closely at our bodies, and to literally consider the wonder and joy of life on a daily basis.

Life and death, one of the fundamental human themes, has also continued to be an important theme in art. This edition of the collection exhibition, titled Our Life, consists of approximately 110 items, including a number of new acquisitions. Here, we introduce a group of specially selected works that deal with a variety of themes related to life, such as birth, maturity, old age, and death, as well as issues that underlie all of these themes, such as time, memory, forgetting, and the humor and sorrow of living.
