MOSCOW — On the eve of the HINODE JAPAN 2026 festival, Moscow metro stations have been transformed into an open cultural stage for a dialogue of civilizations. The famous “underground palaces” of the city’s subway — “Novoslobodskaya” and “Kievskaya” — were visited by the artists of the Japanese geisha trio “Mionoya”.
Foreign guests appreciated the monumental architecture of the stations, stained glass, mosaic panels, and stucco. For the dancers, accustomed to intimate halls, the vast space of the historic metro became a performance environment of a fundamentally different nature. Inside the station interiors, the artists performed a fragment of the traditional Japanese dance Nihon-buyō.
The interiors of the Moscow metro harmoniously combined classical Eastern art and monumental Soviet aesthetics. The project demonstrated the openness of Moscow’s transport infrastructure to international cultural initiatives, turning busy passenger hubs into spaces for global art exchange.
