SUMMARY:Amphibian
DESCRIPTION:Amphibian has been transformed from the artist\, Nung-Hsin Hu’s\, on-going performance SUSHI. To extend the idea of identity confusion into her current circumstances\, Nung-Hsin performed SUSHI in her working environment\, a museum\, wearing her regular working clothes while the space was closed to the public. The photographic and video documentation reveal the contradiction and affinity between the two roles as an artist and art administrator\, and the invisible creative contribution provided through the supporting admin role. \nThe Amphibian exhibition at RESOBOX will include stereoscope photographic installations\, one single channel video\, and site specific fake food installations that will also reflect the artist’s confusion of identity. \nAmphibian Artist Statement by Nung-Hsin Hu\nAmphibian is made possible by Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

SUMMARY:Drink in Style: Gorgeous Glassware from Japan
DESCRIPTION:Explore a wide variety of the delicate Japanese artisan drinking wares! \nWhat do you think are best glasses or cups to drink your favorite drinks with? Do you have a favorite type of glass to use for your alcoholic drinks like beer\, wine\, sake\, whisky\, or vodka? In Japan we say that sake wares make sake taste differently and we carefully choose which wares are better for certain drinks as we believe that the right drinking wares bring out the best taste in drinks! We would like you to find your favorite Japanese drinking ware in this exhibition! \nAll of our exhibited wares were made by Japanese artisans using sophisticated and traditional techniques. We hope you will enjoy our most intricate collection. \nOur Drinking Wares\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nFD STYLE (SANSAKU)\nThe SANSAKU is a cup created specifically for the enjoyment of sake. It comes in three different styles\, designed to accentuate and amplify the aroma\, texture\, flavor\, and aftertaste of sake. Because\, sake can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures\, we have carefully spun single sheets of stainless steel using our specially designed mold and spatula\, creating a vessel that can control how heat is transmitted to the mouth. Everyone has their own sense of taste\, and preferences can change according to mood\, physical condition and the social environment. The SANSAKU lets us enjoy our sake at different temperatures and occasion-perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised by a new flavor experience in your usual sake. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFD Style Lineup\n\n\n\n\nSansaku morning glory (Silver/Black) 100% Stainless\n\nSansaku Camellia (Silver/Black) 100% Stainless\n\n\n\nSansaku Ocyoco (Gold/Green/Red/Blue/Silver/Black) 100% Stainless\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nKIMOTO GLASS TOKYO (EDO KIRICO)\nKimoto Glassware started in Asakusa 80 years ago\, since then\, they have kept to their principle “Keep traditional techniques and create the future of glassware”. During that time\, they have made millions of glasses with offers and requests. They will continue as the major glassware company in Tokyo in developing and creating new aspects of glass in their downtown factories\, while working with craftsmen\, designers and creators. Edo Kirico is a glass craft that has been handed down in Tokyo. Edo Kirico was fostered in the urban culture among the townspeople\, and during the Meiji era (mid-19th century)\, the craft introduced not only Western equipment and instruments\, but also their technique while preserving traditional techniques and has been passed down to the present time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  KIMOTO GLASS TOKYO Lineup\n\n\n\n\nEDO KIRICO Gui-nomi Pair\n\nKUROCO Tamaichimatsu\n\n\n\nKUROCO Stripe\n\nES slim02\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nNOUSAKU\nIn 1916\, NOUSAKU began manufacturing Buddhist ritual objects in Takaoka\, Japan. Their advanced casting techniques\, expert knowledge\, tradition\, and spirit have been passed down through generations over a long period of time. They pursue the perfect harmony of the inherited tradition and modern design. NOUSAKU uses a selection of materials and casting techniques including raw\, self-hardening\, lost wax\, and original silicon casting method to establish a high-mix\, low-volume production system. Working on the foundations of advanced techniques developed through history\, they also employ new techniques such as NC processing. By achieving a balance between the machine and precision handwork of our craftsmen\, we have been able to develop a flexible production system. All-inclusive production from planning to manufacturing ensures a stable supply of high-quality products. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNOUSAKU Lineup\n\n\n\n\nKuzushi-Yure S (Gold/Silver) 100% Tin\n\nSake Cup Oriental Zodiac Monkey 100% Tin\n\n\n\nNousaku Tumbler-NAJIMI 100% Tin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nAMANO SHIKKI\nExploiting their traditional technique of Takaoka Lacquerware which has been cultivated since their inauguration in 1892\, they have been dedicating to design products matching modern life. They also develop their products always keeping in mind to put themselves in the customer’s shoes. Their high-quality Raden glasses are chiseled in 12 angled parts and adorned with gold. When sake or spirit is poured\, the liquid reflects on the glass and its brightness spreads out like a kaleidoscope. Raden glasses are suitable for a modern lifestyle due to its translucency and warmth of the glass\, and mysterious brightness of the abalone shellfish. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAMANO SHIKKI Lineup\n\n\n\n\nAmano Shikki Kaleidoscopic Series Sake Cup Cherry Blossom (Black/Red)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nYasumitsu Morito (Ceramic Sculptor)\nYasumitsu Morito is a NYC based Japanese ceramic sculptor who works primarily in sculpture that extends from intimate gallery space to interactive public space.

SUMMARY:Sake for the Summer: Experience Chilled Sake
DESCRIPTION:Explore a new way of drinking sake! \nIn this exhibition\, we will show you one of the best ways to drink sake properly on sweltering hot days. One of the most beguiling and engaging aspects of sake is its ability to be enjoyed over a wide range of temperatures. One of our purposes in this exhibition is to have you try each sake at its recommended temperature ranges. Different temperatures suit different sake and we encourage you to taste each of them at a cool temperature at this exhibition. We will exhibit six kinds of sake each of which have strong features and flavors and are best drunk cold. \nSake that is served cold will generally taste drier\, fruitier and with a lighter flavor. These sake will be available for tasting at the very reasonable price of $3-4 for mini glasses or O-choko\, which are Japanese traditional sake cups. \nWe will be serving the sake in the three ways below: \n\nReishu (sake served chilled)\n\nOn the Rocks\nSherbet\n\nThis will be a great means for enhancing your knowledge of sake and learning which one is your favorite. We encourage you to experiment with all the different sake! \nIn addition\, during this exhibition\, we will hold a sake event in which attendees can explore a new pairing of three different sake with authentic Spanish Ham products. Attendees will also listen to a small sake lecture from Kikusui Shuzo. Please click here for more info! We’re looking forward to seeing you there! \nOur Sake List\nPlease click company names (in red) to see their websites. \n\n\n\n \n\nHiro Sake \n\nHiro Blue Sake Junmai Ginjo\nHIRO Sake is a Multi-Award Wining Handcrafted Premium Japanese Sake brewed and bottled in the Niigata Prefecture\, the premier Sake producing region in Japan. HIRO BLUE  has been specially handcrafted by their own Toji (master brewer) to be enjoyed either chilled or on the rocks and can also be used in your favorite cocktail in place of Vodka\, Gin or White Rum.\n\n\n \n\nKikusui\nFunaguchi Kikusui Nama Genshu Honjozo\nJapan’s first Nama-Sake\, created over 40 years ago\, sparking the Nama-Sake boom. Being un-pasteurized and undiluted allows you to enjoy the fruity aroma and fresh full bodied flavor of this Sake\, and being 19% alcohol it’s a high-impact sensory experience. Because of the delicate nature of un-pasteurized Sake this product is sold in a can to shield it from the light.\n\n\n \n\nKitaya\nSouden Tokubetsu Junmai\nProduced using exceptional yamada-nishiki sake rice locally cultivated in Fukuoka and applying the yamahai method\, low temperature fermentation over the course of 2 months. \nThis unique combination results in a fruit-forward and elevated acidity profile that complements meat-centric and richly flavored cuisine.\n\n\n \n\nKoshi No Iso\n\nMuroka Genshu Junmai Ginjo\nSake of the muroka genshu variety (non-charcoal filtered\, cask-strength) is typically only available to brewery staff. This muroka genshu made from Koshi No Shizuku\, a crossbreed of Hyogo Kita Nishiki and Miyama Nishiki sake rice is rich and full-bodied. Because it is non-charcoal filtered\, it is naturally lightly hued. Pairs well with hearty cuisine.\n\n\n \n\nAsahi Shuzo\nDassai 50 Junmai Dai Ginjo\n“Rather than sake that will get someone drunk\, or sake that will sell the most\, Asahishuzo’s aim is to create sake for tasting – to brew sake that is truly delicious and enjoyable for all. Their brand Dassai is the personification of this philosophy. \nWe must note\, however\, that they have no intention of brewing elusive phantom sake that doesn’t sell. This brewery makes some of the most popular and universally relatable sake in the world today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiyake Honten\nSempuku Shinriki Muroka Genshu\nSempuku-no-kura\, “Brewery of a Thousand Fortunes\,” founded in 1856 was destroyed during the bombing campaigns of WWII; at the close of the war\, only two structural walls remained standing of the dozen or structures that comprised the brewery and its adjoining residence.  By late 1946\, the brewery was rebuilt and resumed production.  Miyake Honten’s brewing ethos is to cultivate strong koji (aspergillus oryzae) and achieve a umami-filled yeast fermentation; while ever-seeking the ultimate balance between umami\, acidity\, and food-friendliness.\n\n\n\nAdjacent to sake exhibition\, we are exhibiting several sake wares which make sake taste differently. We are exhibiting pottery\, stainless and glass wares. These are made by Japanese artisans that are available here in NY! Please feel free to look at these pieces as well! \nOur Sake Wares\n\n\n\n\n\nFD STYLE \nSANSAKU\nThe SANSAKU is a cup created specifically for the enjoyment of sake. It comes in three different styles\, designed to accentuate and amplify the aroma\, texture\, flavor\, and aftertaste of sake. Because\, sake can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures\, we have carefully spun single sheets of stainless steel using our specially designed mold and spatula\, creating a vessel that can control how heat is transmitted to the mouth. Everyone has their own sense of taste\, and preferences can change according to mood\, physical condition and the social environment.

SUMMARY:My Inner World / Sakhai’s Sekai
DESCRIPTION:Traveling from a young age and experiencing many cultures have been sources of inspiration in my work.  My paintings are influenced by places I have lived and traveled.  Additionally\, having a mother from Japan and father from Iran\, I find myself carrying both Eastern and Middle Eastern traditions.  In Japan\, I was inspired by the culture and scenery of my grandparent’s hometown\, Kashiwazaki\, a tiny village by the sea\, surrounded by vast mountains. My creative perception and talent was also nurtured by my Persian culture.  I have a strong sense of both cultures\, with the added influence of being American.  These many worlds intersect within me to create my own unique\, inner world. My paintings reflect the vast multitude of my personal ‘sekai’ and the complex landscapes of my past and present. \nMy abstraction reflects my inner world.

SUMMARY:Microcosm
DESCRIPTION:RESOBOX is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Yasumitsu Morito\, a New York based Japanese-born ceramic sculptor. While Morito’s main concentration\, Japanese traditional pottery called Mashiko-yaki\, bears a historical fact that it had a relationship with New York in terms of its popularization and improvement in 1950s\, Mashiko-yaki has been flourishing as “Mingei\,” which is an artifact that possesses both function and aesthetic reflecting the local ideology and culture\, on the home front. \nIn this solo show\, Morito attempts to fuse the Japanese traditional craft with visual arts for New Yorkers as well as people around the world. The conflict between everyday objects and fine art will be resolved with the universal language of art by Morito who was born in Mashiko and has been practicing art in New York City. Morito introduces his exquisitely glazed potteries\, which show his longtime dedication to “Mingei\,” and his sculptures\, Mother and Child series as a new phase of Mashiko-yaki\, made out of a local material from New York. Morito’s work conveying the Japanese philosophy and concept of “Mingei” from Mashiko speaks to not only Japanese but also local people in New York by emphasizing the materialism of interactions with each other. Now\, he embodies the feeling of harmony that goes beyond the geographical boundaries within RESOBOX where Japanese culture resonates. \nIntroduction of Mashiko\nMashiko was officially village certified by the Edo government from 1853 until approximately the end of the the 19th century. The production volume of Mashiko became increasingly stabilized\, consisting mainly of tableware\, and was transported to Edo via the Kinugawa River. The 1920s was a turning point in history for Mashiko\, and the Mingei Movement was started by a group of artists at that time. This movement of ceramic artists was led by one of its founders\, Shoji Hamada in Mashiko. Hamada established an artistic cultural exchange with Bernard Leach. \nAn article in the NY Times dated May 12\, 2000 stated the following: “ In 1920 Leach was invited to join an English artists community in St. Ives\, Cornwall. Leach asked the Japanese potter Shoji Hamada to join him in St. Ives. They worked together for three years\, then Hamada returned to Japan to start his own pottery studio north of Tokyo. In 1955 Hamada was named a Living National Treasure of Japan.” Another article from The NY Times dated January 6\, 1978 quoted:  “Mr. Hamada settled in Mashiko in 1925. His goal was to revive the once flourishing pottery industry in Mashiko and to turn out objects that would be both serviceable and appealing.” Around the same time in 1952\, Hamada\, Yanagi\, and Leach visited the Greenwich House Pottery in Greenwich Village in New York after giving a workshop at NYU. Hamada and Leach’s ceramic bottles can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum in NY today. \n \nMother and Child\nMother and child has been one of the themes of my sculpture since 2014. This is a great theme for depicting the human condition\, in terms of composition and one which is dear to my heart. \nMother and Child is the primordial image of art. The nativity is an entirely familiar scene\, with the baby\, the mother\, and the father\, and with friends and family admiring the new baby. This is a feeling common to all human beings. By picturing mother and child\, I can introduce a leitmotif that crosses all geophysical boundaries – a figure drawn from the archive of big art history\, art from prehistory to the modern.

SUMMARY:Shironuri: Transforming a Single Face
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Radcliffe\, a professional artist\, was inspired to collaborate with Helen Moss during a time when Helen was studying classical Japanese dance. Katherine\, fascinated by how completely shironuri (traditional stage makeup) transforms a face\, asked Helen to model for photographs so that Katherine could capture the dramatic changes as they were happening. \nNot content to simply document standard\, more familiar character changes\, Katherine posed Helen in compositions varying from meditative\, reverse image kaleidoscopic manipulations\, multiple faces of the same pose in different sizes\, with a focus on the flexibility of gender roles unique to classical Japanese dance. \nAll of the photographs in the exhibit were taken before the advent of digital photography\, and so were hand cut to create mixed media collages. \nSpecial Tsugaru Shamisen Performance\nTsugaru Shamisen master\, Kouzan Oyama and his student\, Doanh Nguyen will be performing a few pieces during the opening reception on Thursday\, April 12. \n\n\n\n\nKouzan Oyama \nOzama has master grade license from the Oyama style Tsugaru Shamisen school. He currently holds Tsugaru Shamisen classes in New York. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Tatami: From Laid to Carried
DESCRIPTION:Oda Tatami (織田たたみ®) is an innovative brand of tatami accessories born from the concept\, “from laying tatami to carrying tatami.” \nThe tatami invention was born from a long history. It was originally used by the royal family during the Nara era (710) and gradually became popular during the Edo era. The raw material of tatami that all Japanese people have grown to love has an antibacterial and deodorant effect\, while its fragrance has a calming effect. The tatami fragrance brings the same healing effect as Shinrin’yoku or a forest bath. However\, in recent years\, tatami culture has been shrinking by the reduced number of Japanese-style rooms in houses. \n \nOsamu Oda opened his first store in Tawaramoto\, Nara\, naming it “Oda Tatami Shop” where it still stands for 120 years today. He had an idea to revive the tatami in a new form\, where he created a tatami wallet so that he could carry tatami with ease. This became the catalyst and birth of Oda Tatami. However\, other than their specialization in tatami\, Oda Tatami as a brand was still an amateur to other aspects. The Oda Tatami Shop that stood for 120 years held pride in their quality and would not dare to sell goods that were not top notch. As so\, they searched for craftsman who sympathized with their tatami ideas and created an amazing technique for their products. \n \nProducts of Oda Tatami are not inexpensive\, which is why they pledged to make high quality goods that will be appreciated by satisfied customers. Oda Tatami aims for the highest quality with the label “Made in Japan.” They cherish and hold Japanese materials and technology close to their hearts. It is Oda Tatami that brings real value with real products filled with real people’s emotions and thoughts.

SUMMARY:Lovely Lacquerware of Japan
DESCRIPTION:Japanese Lacquerware by Yuko Asanuma\nFor generations\, lacquerware has been an essential element in the Japanese way of life to such an extent that in some countries\, the name for lacquerware utensils is “Japan.” \nThis lacquerware includes simple wooden bowls\, tea utensils such as natsume\, elaborately patterned lunch boxes\, hair combs\, and hairpins\, to name but a few. Furthermore\, the word shikkoku (the color of black lacquerware) evokes a clear and deeply penetrating beauty in the minds of Japanese people. \nHowever\, many of the items that are called “lacquerware utensils” today are imitations which are made to look like lacquerware through the use of chemical paints\, and this has led to a steady disappearance of genuine lacquerware products which are made using tree sap. \nMost of Asanuma’s works feature pictures which take their inspiration from children’s fairy tales and picture books. She continue to create work on these familiar themes in the hope of achieving greater affinity with both children and adults alike.

SUMMARY:World Amigurumi Exhibition vol. 4: Dolls for Daily Life!
DESCRIPTION:What started as a unique Japanese crochet art only a few decades ago\, amigurumi is now spreading like wild fire across the globe. RESOBOX\, as a Japanese cultural community center located in New York\, is bringing back the celebration of amigurumi with a new theme by a diverse selection of artists. \nAmigurumi are normally used only as cute dolls for display. This year\, we’ve decided to explore wider possibilities of amigurumi with the World Amigurumi Exhibition\, with unique shapes and innovative ideas. As a result\, we are stepping out of the ordinary and asking artists to create amigurumi products that can be used in daily life. Every day objects such as hair brushes\, wallets\, scarves\, tissue box covers were submitted to our exhibition this year! In total\, we’ve gathered pieces from 120 artists and 40 countries who have thought of their own creations to be useful in daily life. \nSee how diverse and different amigurumi can be at the World Amigurumi Exhibition vol. 4! \nFind out how Mookie rediscovers himself in different shapes!\n\nIn The Press\n\nExperience A Tight-Knit World of Amigurumi at ResoBox in LIC by Joe DiStefano on About Travel\nWorld Amigurumi Exhibition 2: Crocheted Culture Celebration! Blog by Petits Pixels (French version)\nAll Around the World by Inside Crochet Magazine\n\nWhat are Amigurumi?\nCourtesy of Lemo.\nAmigurumi (lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami\, meaning crocheted or knitted\, and nuigurumi\, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals\, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features\, as is typical in Japanese culture. (Wikipedia) \nAmigurumi stems from animism\, a philosophy in the foundations of many Japanese traditions and customs. Animism is the belief that gods belong to everything: water\, food\, nature\, buildings and houses\, even technology. In Japanese\, this is called Yaoyorozu no Kami. In fact\, Japanese people often put eyes\, arms\, and legs onto non-human objects and give them imaginary lives in order to feel closer to these objects and show them respect as co-existing partners in this world. \nAs a Japanese cultural center located in Queens\, NY\, one of the most diverse cultural areas in the world\, RESOBOX Gallery wants to explore how the ideas of animism and amigurumi are perceived in other places internationally. \nGo on a video tour of last year’s World Amigurumi Exhibition!\n\nContributors\nHelen E.

SUMMARY:KAMINOSHIGOTO: Paper's Work
DESCRIPTION:KAMINOSHIGOTO (カミノシゴト) is a brand developed by Japanese paper craftsmen using special Mino handmade Washi paper. Matomi Sato\, the producer if KAMINOSHIGOTO started his very first exhibition with Mino Japanese paper craftsman and a designer team. The exhibition was held at Shinjuku OZONE from 2002 to 2006 and proved to be successful after winning the Good Design Award in New Frontier Design and Recognition of Traditional Japanese Materials and Craft. Since 2012\, Ieda Paper Craft has been administrating products of the KAMINOSHIGOTO brand\, following the theme “Life with Japanese Paper.” \nThe Virtues of Mino Washi Paper\nMino hand-made washi paper dates back around 1\,300 years. It was used for the oldest remaining public documents stored in the ancient capital Nara’s Shosoin Temple. The composition of the paper\, with fine\, evenly tangled Kozo (paper mulberry) fibers\, has enabled the paper to maintain its beauty even to this day. \nCrafting\nWater gives life to Paper Crafting. Mino Washi\, is a thin\, fine\, yet strong hand-crafted paper made sheet by sheet from fine layers of Kozo (mulberry) fibers found in the nature abundant Mino region of Gifu Prefecture. Its quality is the highest among all Japanese handmade papers. \nWatermark\nSunlight Passes Through Mino Washi.\nMino Washi has long been used in the shoji sliding screen doors of Japanese homes\, as its uniform surface allows light to pass through in a distinctive manner\, creating a warm and subtle\nlight effect. The beauty of that light gained the attention of famed 20th century sculptor\, Isamu Noguchi\, leading to the creation of his “Akari” series of Japanese paper lighting installations. On November 27\, 2014\, the traditional manufacturing techniques for quality Mino Japanese paper were registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage skill. \n \nDelivering Hand Made Japanese Washi Paper\nThe workshop studio for Ieda Paper Craft makes original paper for Mizu-uchiwa fans\, paper for lanterns\, and special water-drop papers. Recently they have been focusing on not just paper production\, but on product development using the manufactured paper. While they had previously developed womenʼs accessories\, a request from specialty shop Kaminoshigoto led to the development of the Origami Jewell lineup. Originally hand-made Japanese paper was one of lifeʼs necessities\, used for writing\, as well as for building applications\, such as shoji screens and wall papers. However\, nowadays\, there are many cheaper bulk made paper materials\, and the use\, and so the need for hand-made paper has declined. Even so\, they hope to make new materials that appeal to peopleʼs lives. \nThe Texture and Beauty of Traditional Paper\nHow can we incorporate traditional hand-made Japanese paper into our modern lives? Under the themes of “Washi Material Production” and “Proposed Activities”\, we are striving to\nexplore new avenues of washi use. In an effort to convey the original texture and beauty of Japanese paper\, we are looking to create original papers\, one sheet at a time\, with watermarks including kanji characters\, letters\, arabesque or snowflake patterns to create new ways to enjoy paper. \nCreating the Delicate Designs of the Natural World\nMino Washi is made from the finely entwined fibers of natural materials that can be best observed on the outer edges of the hand made sheets. In the Nature series\, the warm characteristics of the Mino Japanese paper is used to replicate the delicate designs of the natural world\, such as feathers and veined leaves found in nature. Once used for shoji screen doors\, lanterns and other daily life uses\, Mino Washi is no longer a necessity in modern day life\, and so by adding new ideas and designs\, it is possible to promote the merits of Mino Washi in new forms. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Vermilion Brilliance and Hidden Eroticism
DESCRIPTION:To create a picture with chalk on a blackboard requires the method of applying just the right amount of pressure and temperature of the fingertips to produce a beautiful gradation. \nThis art form\, which has been said to have originated in Australia\, has many colorful and pop-inspired impressions. In 2017\, Moeco held her first exhibition in Japan titled “Tsuyaga (艶画)” and showcased pieces that no one has seen a chalk artist create before. Tsuyaga (艶画) is a traditional art that focused much on ancient Japanese life and oftentimes sexual desire. For Moeco’s exhibition\, she decided to take the idea of female eroticism from Tsuyaga to create an art of her own. The main works of the theme revolve around women\, beauty\, lust and eroticism and captured the feeling of both exciting and shocking subjects. Even a quick glance at the pieces can pierce through one’s perception and cause a mix of emotions. \nThese pieces of work extract elements of traditional Japan as a homeland (和) and paint it\, both realistically and fantastically\, through an erotically drawn out perspective. \n“Vermilion” or 「朱」 has been a traditional color passed down through the history of Japan. Rather than simply red\, it is the vibrant yet subtle difference of vermilion that is portrayed through Moeco’s works. \nThe vermilion of lipstick\, the vermilion of a kimono\, the vermilion of a goldfish\, the vermilion of a flower. These are the various identities that are brought together in harmony expressed by the artist. The moment vermilion is spread on the lips of a girl\, she becomes a woman. Furthermore\, a vermilion kimono represents the beauty of a woman\, as well as nobility and lust. \nAlthough the pieces seem to be calm and peaceful\, there is a strong passion and tension\, as well as elegance and eroticism that disappears behind each one. That is the myth that is released with each art piece\, a sublime beauty from Moeco’s fingertips. \n

SUMMARY:THE FICTIONAL SCENERY
DESCRIPTION:Yoshiaki’s works focus on exploring the narrowing gap and the tension that exists between artificial\, virtual spaces\, such as those found in online video games\, and the physical realm in which we live. He is inspired by landscapes of virtual worlds he has encountered in games. He believes that experiences in virtual spaces surpass the boundary between fantasy and reality in the human mind\, allowing them to feel very real. These experiences resemble the sensation of being immersed in an artist’s world\, unbounded by canvas borders. Yoshiaki’s works show human thoughts that are aggregations of both subconscious and conscious mental processes\, dreams\, and desires that appear in both virtual realms and the physical world.

SUMMARY:Fujisan: Eternal Symbol of Japan
DESCRIPTION:Nineteenth Century Photographs from The Burns Archive\n\nThe beauty of the solitary\, often snow-capped\, stratovolcano\, known around the world as Mount Fuji\, rising above villages and tree-fringed sea and lakes has long been the object of pilgrimages and inspired artists and poets.\n\n– UNESCO\nRESOBOX gallery is proud to present our sixth annual exhibition of hand-painted nineteenth century Japanese photographs from The Burns Collection & Archive. This year’s theme is the iconic Mt. Fuji. Designated a World Heritage site in 2013\, it is the highest mountain in Japan at 12\,389 ft (3776.24m)\, located on the main island of Honshu. \nThe mountain is venerated in Japan’s earliest recorded literature\, dating from the 8th century and at that time the now dormant volcano was prone to spewing smoke\, making it all the more revered. Shinto temples flank the base of the mountain and it is commonly believed that Fujiyama is the incarnation of the earth spirit itself. \nThe exhibit includes Meiji Era (1868-1912) photographs of landscapes depicting the great mountain from various viewpoints\, as well as staged studio scenes featuring Fujisan as backdrop. A new book\, Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan\, Selected Photographs from The Burns Archive\, accompanies the exhibit. Mt. Fuji\, with its graceful conical\, form is a sacred and eternal symbol of Japan. \n\nThe Burns Collection & Archive\nFrom the birth of photography through the modern age\, with more than one million historic photographs\, The Burns Archive provides photographic evidence of forgotten\, unseen and disquieting aspects of history. It was established in 1975 by Stanley B. Burns\, MD\, FACS\, a New York City ophthalmologist and photo-historian. For over forty years\, thousands of publishers\, exhibitors\, authors\, researchers\, artists and filmmakers have utilized this unique source of visual documentation. The Archive is best known for images of the darker side of life – death\, disease\, crime\, racism\, revolution and war – however\, a large part of the collection depicts aspects of social and cultural life. A favorite and compelling category are nineteenth-century Japanese hand-painted photographs. \nDr. Burns and his daughter Elizabeth have co-authored two books on Japanese photographic history\, Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan (2017) and Geisha: A Photographic History 1872-1912 (2002)\, which explores the life and culture of Geisha during the Meiji Era. They have produced multiple exhibitions of Japanese photography\, including many at the RESOBOX Gallery\, Geisha: The Golden Years 1870-1890 (2002)\, Working Life in Meiji Japan (2013)\, Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890 (2014)\, Japanese Ritual Industry: Silk\, Rice & Tea (2015)\, and Worship in Meiji Era Japan (2016). \nBurns Archive: http://www.burnsarchive.com/

SUMMARY:KIZOMÉ DIGITAL 3D SHIBORI By KIICHI MATSUOKA (KYOTO SHIBORI BIKYO) Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Based in Kyoto’s Nakagyo-ku\, Kyoto Shibori Bikyo Co.\, Ltd. is a company dealing in the production of Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori products and the production and sale of Kyoto kimono products. Currently in the third generation of business\, Kiichi Matsuoka\, who is a traditional craftsman certified in the dyeing process of Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori and is known by his pseudonym\, “KIZOMÉ\,” takes the lead in introducing new tie-dyeing techniques to make traditional tie-dye-based silk products and in passionately making uniquely Japanese products. Under the traditional craftsmanship of Kiichi Matsuoka\, many of the products are produced by hand\, incorporating the new dyeing techniques and proudly labeled “Japanese-made.” \nWhat is Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori?\nKanoko-Shibori is a traditional Japanese tie-dyeing technique and the name\, “Kanoko” comes from the fact that the pattern created through So-Shibori (tie-dyeing large pieces of fabric) looks like the dotted pattern on a young deer’s back. In particular\, when the Kanoko-Shibori technique is applied to silk fabric produced in Kyoto\, it is referred to as “Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori\,” which was officially designated by the Japanese government as a traditional craft in 1976. In the Kyoto tie-dying tradition\, expert artisans are assigned to each stage of the production process and play their roles. Each product therefore embodies the work done by the hands of many individuals\, and the quality of each artisan’s work contributes to the overall outcome. Subtle bleeding of dye and improvised artisan handiwork lend themselves to unique products\, not a single one of which is identical with another. \n \nHow is Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori Made?\nAfter creating a design on the fabric\, the cloth is pinched and tied together with a thread. This piece is called the “enclosure.” When dyeing\, the “enclosure” must remain un-dyed and a pure white color so that the pattern can clearly show. \nThere are many different techniques of Kanoko-Shibori\, but they have since decreased as craftsman no longer pass them down. Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori is not a specific technique\, rather it is a generic term for the dyeing templates manufactured in Kyoto. The technique of placing the template between folded cloth is also treated as a type of design. It involves sandwiching the template between fabric and boards and dyeing them without staining outside of the design. This plating method technique is very difficult and involves much trial and error. Depending on the type of cloth and how it is pinched and strung together\, there are around 50 types of variations in the plating method. \nKimono Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori have over 50 processes from design to completion. Only highly-trained and specialized craftsman can be involved in working the processes as skill effects the outcome of each work. Even slight and subtle color bleeding cannot be undone\, which makes Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori especially difficult to achieve. \nKyo-Kanoko-Shibori as a Traditional Craft\nIn order to promote crafts manufactured using traditional techniques\, the Minister of Economy\, Trade and Industry of Japan began recognizing certain crafts to be included. These traditional craftwork are defined by law and are mainly used in daily life. They must be manufactured using traditional materials by using traditional techniques in a certain area and at a certain scale. Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori was deemed a traditional craft of Japan in 1976. \nWhat is KIZOMÉ Digital 3D Shibori?\nKIZOMÉ Digital 3D Shibori is a new style of Shibori (Japanese tie-dye) produced with cutting-edge technology. Ita Shibori\, one of the traditional Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori styles\, is created using a mold produced by the 3D software design and a 3D printer. \nThe extremely delicate and complex molds resulting from the advanced 3D technologies achieve the special effect and gentle texture on the new Kyo-Kanoko Shibori. \nKyoto Shibori Bikyo (by Kiichi Matsuoka) succeeded to produce the Kyo-Kanoko-Shibori with the Digital 3D Shibori as a first in its field.

SUMMARY:Discover The Joy of Sake in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Sake and Food\, Paired Just For You\nEveryone knows of the delicious flavor that Japanese sake brings. However\, have you actually tried good sake?  \nDiscover the joy of sake at our newest exhibition! We will serve 10 kinds of sake\, each of which come with their own characteristics and flavors that will bring you an amazing experience. In addition\, you will find the great sake map of NYC\, which shows where you can purchase or enjoy any type of sake in New York. \nOne interesting and unique trait of sake is enhancing the taste of food. Sake tastes differently depending on the food you are eating\, as well as the temperature of the sake. Therefore\, to discover the true flavor of sake\, one must try pairing it with different food at varying temperatures. You will be surprised at the ever-changing flavor of the sake once paired with a different dish. To enable you to discover your own favorite pairing. We will provide you with the pairing suggestions. \nWe’ll be serving sake in mini glasses for only $3 so guests can taste and compare! Regular glasses will be priced $11~16. We will be providing our RESOBOX menu with a list of suggestions that go well with your sake of choice! Once you have found a great pairing\, please share it with us!\n \nThis exhibition will last three weeks\, giving all guests enough time to visit and try all the combinations to discover their favorite! \nThe Goal of this Exhibition\nThe aim of our sake exhibition is to encourage and help guests become familiar and comfortable with sake so that they can have it with their meals and outside of the exhibition. \nIn addition\, our exhibition differs particularly from sake tastings.

SUMMARY:The Bonsai art of Bonsai NYC
DESCRIPTION:From the Artist\nPeople often ask me\, “What is bonsai”?  One could answer what is bonsai with a haiku by Yosa Buson (1716–83). “Camellia flower\, falling\, lets drop the rain of yesterday.” \nPonder this wonderful haiku by one of Japan’s great poets\, and it may shed some light on the nature of bonsai. \nBuson’s image of a camellia flower spilling rain as it falls from its stem puts into words what bonsai expresses without words: beautiful moments in time in the natural world.  Bonsai can help us imagine the smell of wildflowers\, the sounds of churning water in a river\, and the feel of pine needles beneath our feet. \nTo me bonsai is a lifestyle of connecting ones heart to the core of nature. \nBonsai\, although small in size\, has the ability to show the perceptive viewer vast expanses of landscape and limitless moments in time past\, present\, and future. \nWhen I am styling and developing a bonsai\, I always embrace the idea of not controlling the tree.  To design bonsai well\, one must let go of the desire of control in order to better see the soul of a tree and let it be your guide.  Then what is planted in a vessel is not the bonsai alone\, it is essence\, mood\, and atmosphere.  Bonsai is planting all of nature in a tray.  I not only want to capture what we can see with our own eyes but what we feel when we are absorbing the spirit\, and vast subtle nuances of nature.  If one connects to bonsai through the heart\, one can experience the essence of the natural world in a pot. \nBonsai allows us to be present in nature even in the middle of a bustling city.  They can magnify nature’s spirit by helping the soul interpret and experience the mood of the landscape. \nThis bonsai exhibition is my journey of exploration and freedom using simple trees trying to maximize and pull out the spirit of each piece in a quiet language of imagery and emotion which is the mirror upon which the bonsai reflects nature\, both seen and unseen. \nTo enhance the experience once again I have reached out to Brooklyn Root Design for design whimsy bringing the contemplative enchanting nature of bonsai and the reflective style of contemporary design together. \nBrooklyn Root Design provides a multifunctional and divers combination of architecture\, interior design\, garden design\, plant and garden maintenance and Bonsai services through Bonsai NYC for public\, privet and commercial spaces.  This approach is realized through collaborations with a broad group of forward thinking clients\, consultants and artisans. \nWe seek to make cultural\, physical and natural connections in our work. \nCome join these little giants at ResoBox and let the bonsai be your guide.  There is no limit to the depths of understanding one can achieve.

SUMMARY:Waterfronts
DESCRIPTION:Yuki Ideguchi’s subjects are primarily nature. Japan is blessed with a distinct four seasons\, and each season has its own natural beauty. Themes from Chinese and Japanese mythologies and folklore are also included\, as well as cultural connections with other countries. \nOne of the most important themes of his work is “Life and Death”. \nIn Buddhist teaching\, all things are impermanent. Ideguchi aims to depict these ideas in his paintings. For example\, the painting of the skull represents death\, while the waves represent constant change and impermanence. Even animals and plants are interconnected with them in the recycle of life. In other words\, they are all parts of nature. \nThe concept of “Life and Death” exists in different cultures. But\, in Japanese buddhist philosophy\, one death means the beginning of new life\, which signifies reincarnation. It also means the ebbing and waning of tide\, and waxing the moon are all parts of nature. \nIdeguchi’s paintings are often mural-sized\, reflecting the classical Japanese wall painting and graffiti art simultaneously. His techniques are a blend of Nihonga\, which means “Japanese-style painting” and graffiti art. \nNihonga painting was developed during the 19th century\, when the influence of Western art was overwhelming\, in order to create a uniquely Japanese style instead of just copying western art. \nIn Ideguchi’s own distinctive practice\, mineral pigments\, silver and gold leaf\, animal glue\, acrylic\, and spray paints are used to cover the canvas. Japanese paper also known as “Washi\,” a particular type of paper made of a Japanese plant similar to reed is also used\, which enables the artist to create a distinctively Japanese-styled painting . \nBy combining the Nihonga —itself a mixture of Western and Eastern styles— with Japanese folk art\, religious art\, pop culture\, manga\, as well as various international art forms and techniques\, Ideguchi has created his own distinctive style. \nHis works move freely\, expanding aesthetic topics and cultural artifacts. Styles and motifs differ too. \n\nOpening Night Music Performance\nDate: Friday\, July 7\, 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm \nHonoring the theme of the solo exhibition “Waterfronts\,” flute & guitar duo Anne Dearth and Kenji Haba will play the pieces inspired by water and sea\, written by Masatora Goya\, Osvald Golijov\, and Toru Takemitsu.

SUMMARY:Innovative Concepts to Origami
DESCRIPTION:From the Artist\nFor this exhibition\, I made pieces on the theme: “relations between the canvas’s front and back sides”. \nI painted the front of the canvas thick with a molding paste\, and on the backside of the canvas\, I thinly painted with a bright color so that I could make a difference in expression. I tried to make my works simple and clear by folding the canvas using these two elements. There will be many big art pieces in this show\, so I want visitors to feel the powerful and dynamism from these large forms. \nFor people who are uninterested in fine arts\, abstract expression can be difficult and incomprehensible. However\, it’s from ordinary things that these ideas are born. I would be pleased if visitors could see how I reached the conception though origami.

SUMMARY:World Amigurumi Exhibition vol. 3: Mixed Materials Made Mini Monsters!
DESCRIPTION:As the amigurumi industry is expanding\, the World Amigurumi Exhibition is expanding as well! RESOBOX\, as a Japanese cultural community center located in New York\, is bringing back the celebration of amigurumi with a new theme by a diverse selection of artists. \nCrocheting cute creatures with yarn is what amigurumi artists normally do. This year\, we’ve decided to explore wider possibilities of amigurumi with the World Amigurumi Exhibition\, not only with the unique shapes that many artists create with their own innovative ideas\, but with unique materials as well. As a result\, we are stepping out of the ordinary with the theme of using unconventional material\, asking artists to use non-straight yarn to create their creatures. In total\, we’ve gathered pieces from 125 artists and 47 countries who’ve used materials from their own countries such as special types of yarn\, wood\, wire\, aluminum\, felted fabric\, ceramic\, and glass. \nSee how diverse and different amigurumi can be at the World Amigurumi Exhibition vol. 3! \n\nFind out how Mookie gets creative with his fashion sense with different materials!\n\nIn The Press\n\n\n\nExperience A Tight-Knit World of Amigurumi at ResoBox in LIC by Joe DiStefano on About Travel\nWorld Amigurumi Exhibition 2: Crocheted Culture Celebration! Blog by Petits Pixels (French version)\nAll Around the World by Inside Crochet Magazine\n\n\n\nWhat are Amigurumi?\nCourtesy of Lumièna.\nAmigurumi (lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami\, meaning crocheted or knitted\, and nuigurumi\, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals\, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features\, as is typical in Japanese culture. (Wikipedia) \nAmigurumi stems from animism\, a philosophy in the foundations of many Japanese traditions and customs. Animism is the belief that gods belong to everything: water\, food\, nature\, buildings and houses\, even technology. In Japanese\, this is called Yaoyorozu no Kami. In fact\, Japanese people often put eyes\, arms\, and legs onto non-human objects and give them imaginary lives in order to feel closer to these objects and show them respect as co-existing partners in this world. \nAs a Japanese cultural center located in Queens\, NY\, one of the most diverse cultural areas in the world\, RESOBOX Gallery wants to explore how the ideas of animism and amigurumi are perceived in other places internationally. \nGo on a video tour of last year’s World Amigurumi Exhibition!\n\nContributors\nHelen E.

SUMMARY:Kids Earth Fund
DESCRIPTION:Starting as a mother wishing the best for her child’s school experience\, Harumi Torii established a small school where kids could be comfortable being themselves and helping others. Using these kids’ activities such as their artwork\, the “Kids Earth Fund” was created to assist children in expressing their feelings freely through art. With pictures and their own creativity\, the Kids Earth Fund allows kids to “paint it” rather than “speak it\,” breaking down the border that limits what they would like to express. The Kids Earth Fund has worked with families\, kids and teachers from all over the world and are now showing their children’s artworks in New York! As they are now exhibiting in Muji’s 5th Avenue location\, RESOBOX will also be exhibiting 40 pieces created by children from all over the globe. \nThe paintings that make up this exhibition are created by kids from all over the world and Kids Earth Fund hopes that the purity of each child reaches the hearts of everyone who visits. All sales made from the exhibition will be treated as donations and properly given to children in need.

SUMMARY:Ukiyo-e Heroes
DESCRIPTION:Modern video game heroes\, lovingly depicted as handmade Japanese prints \nFor hundreds of years\, ukiyo-e (or Japanese woodblock prints) has depicted heroes\, villains\, and monsters in every conceivable genre. These artists strived to create inventive and vibrant scenes of entertainment\, a “floating world”. To this day\, that tradition of depicting a “floating world” continues\, especially in video games. Boss fights. Invulnerable heroes. Holy swords. Even the classic double jump can be traced back to medieval Japanese legends. \nTo celebrate Japan’s contribution to video games\, illustrator Jed Henry has taken his favorite game characters\, and returned them to the ukiyo-e style. Modern costuming has been traded for the medieval\, but the essence of each character remains\, proving that you can’t take the Ukiyo out of these modern pop icons. With the help of Dave Bull\, a craftsman trained in the art of Japanese woodblock printing\, these illustrations are truly able to come to life. After Jed Henry designs each print\, Dave Bull goes through an intricate process of preparing\, carving the key block\, carving the color blocks\, and proof printing. In this manner\, Jed Henry’s designs are truly able to come to life in the ukiyo-e tradition. \nUkiyo-e heroes latest works including 5 New Giclee and Woodblock prints featuring Darth Vader\, Boba Fett that haven’t been shown and sold anywhere. \n\nAbout Japanese Woodblock Printing\nJapanese woodblock printing or moku hanga (木版画) is a technique very similar to Western woodcut techniques (ie: movable type and the printing press). A key difference\, however\, is in the type of ink used for each technique: in the Western tradition\, oil-based inks are most commonly used\, but in Japanese woodblock printing\, water-based inks are used. This allows for a wide variety of colors\, glazes\, and even transparency. \nWatch David Bull create one of these pieces right before your eyes!

SUMMARY:Worship in Meiji Era Japan
DESCRIPTION:Nineteenth Century Photographs from the Burns Archive & Collection\nRESOBOX gallery is proud to present the fifth annual exhibition of hand-painted nineteenth century Japanese photographs from The Burns Archive & Collection. The exhibit includes images of the two major religions of Japan – Buddhism and Shintoism. Shinto is as old as Japanese culture and Buddhism was imported during the 6th century. Since then\, the two religions have co-existed relatively harmoniously and even complement each other. \nSpiritualism was an integral part of life during the Meiji Era and the photographs depict the religious sites and reverent people. There are vivid images of priests\, pilgrims and ceremonies. Stunning views of temples\, shrines and pagodas\, including Nikko\, Kamakura and Hakone. This collection of photographs represent the highly spiritual\, religious and cultural life of Meiji Era Japan. \n\nThe Burns Collection\n\nThe Burns Collection was established in 1975 by Stanley B. Burns\, MD\, FACS\, a New York City ophthalmologist and photo-historian. The Collection focuses on unique images not available elsewhere\, and has been generally recognized as the most important private comprehensive collection of early photography. The Burns Archive\, with over a million historic photographs\, is best known for images of the darker side of life – death\, disease\, crime\, racism\, revolution and war – however\, a large part of the collection depicts aspects of social and cultural life. \nA favorite and compelling part of the Collection are nineteenth-century Japanese hand-painted photographs. Working together\, Dr. Burns and his daughter Elizabeth\, wrote Geisha: A Photographic History 1872-1912. It explores the life and culture of Geisha during the Meiji Era with a comprehensive history of photography in Japan. They have also produced several exhibitions. They have been especially pleased to present at the Resobox Gallery in 2012 Geisha: The Golden Years 1870-1890\, in 2013 Working Life in Meiji Japan in 2014 Japan – An Island Nation: 1870-1890 and in 2015 Japanese Ritual Industry: Silk\, Rice & Tea. \nBurns Archive: http://www.burnsarchive.com/ \n

DESCRIPTION:[A]n artifact of such utter simplicity and perfection that it seems it must be either the first object or the last… \n– William Gibson \nHikaru dorodango derives from dorodango\, a common pastime of Japanese school children.  Coming from the words doro\, meaning “mud” and dango\, a type of Japanese flour cake\, it consists of creating balls of mud that are molded into spheres by hand\, then dried and polished to a luster.  The process was later refined into the art hikaru (“shining”) dorodango.  \nFrom the Artist\nI first learned of this Japanese art in William Gibson’s seminal essay\, “SHINY BALLS OF MUD:  WILLIAM GIBSON LOOKS AT JAPANESE PURSUITS OF PERFECTION” \nWhile hikaru dorodango is perhaps the most minimal of arts\, the process is incredibly complex.  Different soils present unique challenges: different concentrations of clay\, sand\, or loam and innumerable variations in the qualities of all of the above.  With every new soil I try I must relearn the process all over again; making modifications here and there to achieve the final result.  Likewise\, modulating different elements of my technique can yield very different results within the same soil.  The textured dorodango\, for example\, arise from working the mudball for a longer period while it is still very wet. \n \nI never tire of the cognitive switch that inevitably occurs – when regular dirt becomes something I care about.  Within a few short minutes\, the mudball takes on a personality of its own.  First\, it’s something inherited from the qualities of the soil itself\, then it becomes something else.  Cracks form and then ‘heal’ after layer upon layer is added .  Traces of my hands evolve into strange patterns as the surface dries and tightens.  You learn the topology of the object while your mind is off thinking about other things.  It’s as much meditation as as it is art. \nThe hikaru dorodango selected for this exhibition are all created from individual soil deposits in New Mexico.  Each dorodango is named after the location from which the soil was excavated. \nMore about Bruce Gardner’s Hikaru Dorodango:\n\nNational Geographic – These Perfect\, Shiny Spheres Started Out as Dirt\nColossal – ‘Hikaru Dorodango’ is the Japanese Art of Turning Dirt into Perfect Spheres\n\n\nBuck the Cubicle #2 from P2 Photography on Vimeo.\nAll photographs courtesy of P2 Photography \nPartners and Praise for Hikaru Dorodango\n学校のグラウンドにあるような土、子どもたちの足下に普通に存在する土を使って光る玉を作る活動は古くからある日本の子どもの遊び文化の一つです。しかし、遊び素材の商品化の過度な進行とともに、日本でも10数年前にはこの文化が衰退・消失しかけていました。私が行った仕事は伝統的な製作方法を受け継ぎながら、完全に乾燥しても輝きを失わない製作方法を開発して、それを文字＆映像の両媒体で表現して後世に伝えることでした。この仕事が私の予想を越えた大きな反響を呼び、日本の子どもたちや教師たちにも広く受け入れられる結果になったこと、また私のサイトhttp://www.kyokyo-u.ac.jp/youkyou/4/english4.htmが海外の方にまで知られ、使用する土の選択や新しい技術の考案によって大人にとってのアートにまで発展させられてきていることに驚いています。日本の文化は着物や寿司などとともに海外でも知られてきているものがたくさんありますが、日本の子どもの遊びの文化はあまり知られていないと思います。Mr. William Gibsonの紹介に感謝します。Mr. Bruce Gardner氏の作品は私の制作物を越えた美しさを表しており、深い感動を覚えます。 \nTranslation: \nUsing soil from the grounds of preschool and elementary schools that lie beneath the feet of Japanese children to make shining orbs of mud is an old pastime of the Japanese youth. However about 10 to 20 years ago\, with the growing progress of commercialized toys\, our mud ball hobby was on the verge of extinction. Through inheriting the original and traditional methods of producing dorodango\, I have developed one that lets the products keep their shine even when completely dry. In addition\, I was able to pass them on to future generations through both written and visible mediums. To have dorodango known worldwide\, as well as being accepted by Japanese children and teachers as a sensation has exceeded my expectations. I am surprised that even my website: http://www.kyokyo-u.ac.jp/youkyou/4/english4.htm has been known to people overseas and the creation of dorodango – from soil selection to the advanced technology has been developed to create an art not only for children\, but for adults as well. Japanese culture outside of Japan consist of many things\, such as kimono and sushi\, but I believe the culture of children’s pastimes is not well known. I am thankful to Mr. William Gibson for his introduction to dorodango. Mr. Bruce Gardner’s work goes beyond my own and represents a certain beauty that leaves a lasting impression. \n– Professor Fumio Kayo\, Kyoto University of Education \n光る泥だんご (Hikaru Dorodango) led by Naoto Kanesaka

SUMMARY:Vortex
DESCRIPTION:My works are based on the natural features\, history and culture of Japan in line with the influences other cultures bring from all over the world. The aim of my work is to foster a greater understanding of the cultural connections Japan has with outside nations. In order to do so\, I will start by explaining each concept with religion\, which is always placed with high importance in the center of many cultures. \nJapanese religious beliefs are known to be complicated since the Japanese people accept and practice the diverse doctrines present within Shintoism\, Buddhism\, Christianity and a variety of other religions. Although I paint themes mainly from Buddism or Zen religion\, as they are important aspects of Japanese culture and tradition which are rooted in my mind and body\, I grew up in a Catholic family in Japan\, and my work is mixed with various ideas. In fact\, the current religious state in Japan is represented with several kinds of religions co-existing together without conflict. \nI would like to point out one unique Buddhist concept in my work named “Shogyo-mujo“\, which teaches that all things are in flux\, nothing is permanent and all worldly things are transitory\, which you can see from the skull and wave in my painting. The skull represents the fascination with life and death while the wave represents reincarnation. \nThe concept of “Shogyo-mujo” exists generally in different cultures and in different shapes. As one death becomes the beginning of another life\, there is an equilibrium regarding the circle of life. In addition\, the aspects that make up the universe such as the flow of sea\, the race of the sun\, and the wax and wane of the moon are also repeated infinitely\, generating various changes within the atmosphere. \nIn this exhibition\, titled “Vortex\,” I have made a piece representing the process of creation and reincarnation through waves and spirals that swallow all kinds of existence. The result of this mixture demonstrates a new kind of creation\, as reincarnation becomes a new way of improvement by incorporating every existence. \nThis exhibition embodies the Japanese unique views on life and death which I have obtained through my Japanese background. It is also an idea I believe can be applied to and inspire those outside of Japan.

SUMMARY:Light Breeze
DESCRIPTION:Flowers for Fortitude: A Painting Collection by ChiFung Wong\nInspired by Isson Tanaka\, a famous Japanese painter of the Showa era\, ChiFung Wong creates beautifully illustrated floral artworks drawn from the atmospheres of Macau\, Japan and New York\, three cities he holds dear to his heart. Born in Macau\, China and educated in Japan\, ChiFung Wong earned his Ph.D in Fine Art at the Kyushu Sangyo University in Fukuoka. After receiving his certificate at the National Academy School of Fine Art in 2013 and becoming a research assistant and lecturer at his alma mater\, ChiFung set out to explore and spread his art to the rest of the world. As a result\, he has gained recognition and exhibited his artworks in the United States\, Japan\, Britain and Australia. \nAfter exploring the distinct cultures of Macau\, Japan and New York\, ChiFung decided to incorporate the three cities into his paintings. His sensitivity to air\, color\, and scent were derived from his hometown and origins of Macau. He was inspired by Isson Tanaka during his college days in Japan\, and whose artwork impressed him to no extent with its unique style in color and lighting that gradually led him to pursue the Japanese painting technique. New York City became an invigorating place for him to produce art as he gains new passions and visual sensations with each passing day in the city. \nFlourishing in the world of art\, ChiFung decided to present flowers as a motif to this exhibition. He finds himself in the frail life of flowers when expressing his dreams and the flowers he draws depict his inner strength and vital energy on canvas. \nNow\, ChiFung strives to incorporate a new global sense and viewpoint in his artworks to create a style that combines Chinese\, Japanese and Western painting elements. By using iridescent colors\, elements of light\, touch and a scents of seasons\, ChiFung makes his flowers bloom and brings his artworks to life.

SUMMARY:Origami in action: A New Approach to Applied Origami
DESCRIPTION:Best known for making Pop – Up comic books\, Sam Ita was asked by emerging Italian publisher\, Nui Nui\, to create a series of origami books\, beginning with paper planes.\nAfter much initial struggle\, he was able to come up with unique\, yet easy to fold designs. His method relies on clear\, intuitive diagrams\, and colorful\, printed crease patterns. Tuttle Publishing acquired US rights to the book\, and released it in the beginning of 2016 as “Next Generation Paper Airplanes Kit.” \nContinuing the series\, he collaborated with 2 other young\, innovative origamists; Jewelry and Fashion designer Adrienne Sack; and Dragon Aficionado and Champion Pumpkin Carver\, Paul Frasco. Their subsequent titles are “Fashionable Paper Hats”\, and “Flying Dragons fire–breathing paper aircraft\,” respectively. These books will hopefully be available in the US\, as well. \n \nAbout Origami\nOrigami (折り紙)\, coming from ori meaning “folding” and kami meaning “paper\,” is the art of paper folding\, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage\, the word “origami” is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices\, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. \nThe small number of basic origami folds can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The best-known origami model is the Japanese paper crane. In general\, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be of different colors\, prints\, or patterns. Traditional Japanese origami\, which has been practiced since the Edo period (1603–1867)\, has often been less strict about these conventions\, sometimes cutting the paper or using non-square shapes to start with. The principles of origami are also used in stents\, packaging and other engineering applications. Modern origami combines these Japanese techniques with aspects of other folding traditions\, and materials. Today\, origami is truly a global phenomenon.

SUMMARY:World Amigurumi Exhibition vol.2: Crocheted Culture Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:What started as a unique Japanese crochet art only a few decades ago\, amigurumi is now spreading like wild fire across the globe. As a Japanese cultural center in New York City\, an extremely vibrant and diverse location\, RESOBOX is looking to uncover and explore the core of what makes amigurumi so adored by everyone. \nIn order to examine how the amigurumi culture is developing in each area of the world\, we’ve asked artists from 46 countries to submit at least one amigurumi representing something special about their country! Our goal is to show each country’s unique features while connecting them through the common medium of amigurumi! Artists have submitted amigurumi made with their country’s colors\, a special type of yarn or other materials (beads\, embellishments\, fabric\, etc.) well known in your country\, amigurumi wearing cultural clothes\, and many other original ideas! \nLearn about different cultures around the world through crocheting and amigurumi at our second World Amigurumi Exhibition! \nMookie is back with a new adventure to find friends all over the world!\n\nIn The Press\n\nExperience A Tight-Knit World of Amigurumi at ResoBox in LIC by Joe DiStefano on About Travel\nWorld Amigurumi Exhibition 2: Crocheted Culture Celebration! Blog by Petits Pixels (French version)\nAll Around the World by Inside Crochet Magazine\n\nThank you for joining us at Vogue Knitting Live!\nVogue Knitting Live NY: Jan 15-17\, 2016\nThis year\, RESOBOX had its own booth at Vogue Knitting Live 2016 with some special pieces from this year’s World Amigurumi Exhibit. We also arranged the annual VK Live scavenger hunt\, held our own amigurumi-making workshops\, and hosted a special lecture about amigurumi and the reason behind our exhibit! I hope you guys had as much fun as we had! \nWhat are Amigurumi?\nCourtesy of Jennifer Ramirez.\nAmigurumi (lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami\, meaning crocheted or knitted\, and nuigurumi\, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals\, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features\, as is typical in Japanese culture. (Wikipedia) \nAmigurumi stems from animism\, a philosophy in the foundations of many Japanese traditions and customs. Animism is the belief that gods belong to everything: water\, food\, nature\, buildings and houses\, even technology. In Japanese\, this is called Yaoyorozu no Kami. In fact\, Japanese people often put eyes\, arms\, and legs onto non-human objects and give them imaginary lives in order to feel closer to these objects and show them respect as co-existing partners in this world. \nAs a Japanese cultural center located in Queens\, NY\, one of the most diverse cultural areas in the world\, Resobox Gallery wants to explore how the ideas of animism and amigurumi are perceived in other places internationally. \nGo on a video tour of last year’s World Amigurumi Exhibition!\n\nContributors\nHelen E.
