The opening exhibition includes works by 31 internationally renowned artists. These come not only from the Soka Art Collection but also from artists invited to participate in the exhibition by the curators. The exhibition theme “High in the Clouds” comes from the recently popular technological idea of “Cloud Computing,” signifying the hopes and expectations that still very much motivate Soka Art as it fast approaches its twentieth birthday.

The exhibition, which has been planned since 2008, features 57 works by 18 artists, presenting their observations, reflections and interpretations of The Times they live in."Allosymbiosis" is the main theme of the exhibition, and the three themes of "allosymbiosis" in Beijing, "Excessive love" in Taipei and "Model Country" in Tainan are held in three places, in an attempt to make a historical review and introduction of Japanese contemporary art.

Ever since the success of Murakami Takashi, the main contribution made by Japanese contemporary art on the global stage has come from such sub cultural forms as Anime, computer games, Otaku and Kawaii. Moreover, a review of work by a new generation of contemporary artists reveals an attempt to combine traditional Japanese aesthetics and the innovative artistic expressive forms inherent in the language of western aesthetics. For the purposes of this exhibition, Soka Art Center invited 17 Japanese contemporary Japanese artists to work with 7 stylistically distinctive Japanese art galleries.
