An illuminated gate made from washi Japanese paper featuring stripes of the seven colors of the rainbow welcomes guests in the lobby of InterContinental Osaka, located inside the stylish Grand Front Osaka building just outside Osaka Station.
The hotel, celebrating its fifth anniversary since opening in June 2013, is holding "Washi Wonderment," a washi artwork exhibition created by Kyoto-based artist and designer Eriko Horiki through May 9.
The exhibition is one of the elegant and sophisticated accommodation, cuisine, art and cultural events that will be offered throughout the year under the theme of "Happy Luxury" in the heart of the city.
