Nishimura & Asahi Prize at HERALBONY Art Prize 2026 Winner: "Deep into the Night ~Salad Bowl~" by Tomohito Nihei

We are a Gold Partner co-sponsor for the HERALBONY Art Prize 2026, an international art award. This year, Tomohito Nihei's piece "Deep into the Night ~Salad Bowl~" has been selected for the Nishimura & Asahi Prize.

This work leaves a strong impression through the bold layering of vivid and diverse colors, which come together in a remarkable sense of harmony and dynamic movement. The upward-reaching green line evokes the image of continuous progress, suggesting the courage to confront challenges without clear answers or precedents. The way multiple colors blend to form a single, cohesive surface reflects an accumulation of experience and knowledge built across borders and disciplines. The resonance between artistic expression and an enduring forward-looking stance vividly embodies our promise of Leading You Forward, which led us to select it for the Nishimura & Asahi Prize.
