This Shinagawa Aquarium’s deep-sea creatures exhibition offered a good match-up of deep-sea, a popular subject, and Shota’s watercolor paintings.

At the venue, deep-sea creatures such as Ascorhynchus japonicus including approximately 13 kinds of the deep-sea creatures caught in Suruga Bay such as Scorpionfish, Bathynomus doederleini Ortmann, and Mursia danigoi Galil were exhibited together with approximately 30 marine life art works painted by Shota.

This was the first exhibition of his art works outside Shizuoka Prefecture.
