A special event at the Mitaka City Gallery of Art looks into the works of Takao Iijima (1931 -), who more commonly goes by his art name of Ay-o. In Japan, Ay-o is referred to as the "rainbow man", as he commonly depicts rainbows in his works - his first rainbow-inspired piece was released in New York back in 1964. He has since exhibited his art all around the globe, and has won a host of awards.
The event will showcase over 160 of Ay-o's creations, including prints, acrylic works, and 3D pieces.
Admission to the special exhibition is free.
