COMMPANY: NAKADAYA
NAKADAYA
The story of a long-established business that has been around since 1960 in Chigasaki.
Founded in 1960, Nakadaya Shoten started in Hamatake, Chigasaki. After a unique expansion that included the Japanese Dog Research Institute, Ranchu goldfish, Nishikigoi carp, goldfish breeding and sales, a fishing pond, and art exhibition and sales, the business temporarily closed its doors after 70 years in Hamatake, Chigasaki, and has now restarted as NAKADAYA GOLDENFISH & ART in Matsugaoka, Chigasaki.
Going forward, we will be developing our content around unique and interesting forms of "goldfish scooping," as well as videos, music, and the Shonan lifestyle.
Furthermore, a collaborative project with Miraacreation is underway, titled "vision painting," which translates the ideas and goals envisioned by the company and its management into art. The plan is to create an atmosphere where everyone in the company can connect with each other on a deeper level by viewing the finished artwork together.
In addition, we hope to explore the possibilities of art from various perspectives, such as through collaborative projects with Kamakura Winery and with retailers selling Yuyu Art.

ARTIST
yuyu
Artist & Creator
Profile: yuyu
Yuyu is someone who constantly seeks energy. An artist who explores harmony between nature and the heart. While thoroughly drawing what she loves, she creates art that reminds viewers of the "rhythm of nature."
"I'm striving to become the Gauguin of Shonan, depicting the celebration of life."
Based in Shonan, Chigasaki, yuyu is an artist who depicts the unrestrained energy of nature, the pure gaze of animals, and the depths of the human heart with a unique sense of color. Yuyu's brushstrokes are like breathing itself. In recent years, she has been energetically creating murals that breathe life into huge walls of places such as the "etiquette" that can be called the soul of Kamakura Winery, medical facilities, offices, and shops of various industries, transforming the spaces themselves into power spots.
My icon: yuyu bird
Currently, the core (key icon) of yuyu's expression is the "yuyu bird" soaring through the sky. It is a sacred messenger that presides over "freedom, happiness, and loyalty." Its image, freed from fixed ideas, carrying good fortune, and devoted to what it believes in, symbolizes the very "flapping of wings of the heart" that we instinctively seek in our chaotic modern age.
Philosophy: The resonance of nature, animals, and humans
"All forces in the natural world are interconnected." Her keen observational skills, honed through living with her two beloved black cats, Cookie and Noah, allow her to capture the pulse of all living things on canvas. While rooted in Japanese identity, her expression transcends borders, speaking directly to the soul of the viewer.
Message: yuyu's words
A single painting, placed on display, becomes a door, transforming the space. What yuyu paints is not merely art. What you find there is an "overwhelming affirmation" and a "wind of freedom" for living tomorrow.
