PERMANENT

Gallery 1: Apprentice Curators Project: Phenomena -Impermanence World

 Something hitherto unseen shows itself, changes form, and then vanishes again. The world is full of various ongoing phenomena, and they have often been selected as motifs for art.
This exhibition is being held as part of the Apprentice Curators project, involving junior and high school students brought together via an open call for participants in spring 2021. Across a total of five programs, the students learned about the role played by art museum, the job of their curators, and about art itself, before selecting pieces to appear in an exhibition with the theme of “Phenomena.”
 Nomura Hitoshi’s Dry Ice is a piece that records the changes in dry ice over time, with the artist feeling the presence of some kind of inevitable force running through the entire phenomena. Meanwhile, Yanagihara Mutsuo’s A Block Sky- <1> is a carving of clouds that appeared for a moment in the sky. Besides, the pieces of artists like Ono Koseki and Hashimoto Masaya, using animal bones, allow you to see and feel the changes in the form of matter, along with the changes in animal’s bodies, and the changes in life itself.
While taking in these pieces with a focus placed on “phenomena,” please also enjoy the questions that the apprentice curators have prepared for you.

Gallery 2: Beauty of Sanuki Carving

 Tamakaji Zokoku (1806-1869), who was active during the last years of the Edo period, is known as the founder of Sanuki lacquer work. He created not only pieces of pian wood carving but also such “choshitsu” techniques as “Tsuishu” and “Tsuikoku,” which involve first layering crimson or black lacquer, respectively, prior to carving; those techniques have been called “Sanuki Carving.” 1907 then saw the opening of the Hyakkaen, a place producing and selling lacquer work and centered on Sanuki Carving. It gathered famous artists to its doors, including Ishii Keido (1877-1944), Takahashi Kanzan (1883-1942), and Sasa Chikusen (1898-1932), and became the main base for Sanuki Carving. Keido and Kanzan were particularly well-renowned as two titans of carving, and their exemplary skills created many fine pieces. These carving techniques were then passed down to further generations, with Keido’s student Otomaru Kodo (1898-1997) was designated an important intangible cultural property holder (in the carved laguer division) in 1955.
This exhibition starts with pieces from Zokoku, focusing on the supremely skilled work of Keido and Kanzan, and then proceeds into the work of Kodo and newly developed colored lacquer techniques, bringing you all the beauty that such intricate carving can achieve
