| Outline of the exhibition |
In Japan during the Edo and Meiji eras, culture was transmitted so that trees sucked up water and their nutrients flowed to branches. In Japan at that time, art was found not only in the works created by craftsmen, but also in the tools themselves. In this exhibition, Evarett Brown will portray the "remnants of Japan" hidden in artisans and tools with the 19th century technology "wet plate light painting". You will see what is the soul that lives in manufacturing, following the remnants of modern Japan, and the footprints of Mr. Everett repeated dialogues with the museum's tools, masters from various places, buildings and landscapes. | |||||||||||||
