SUMMARY:FIRING EARTH
DESCRIPTION:Clay was the first material used for shaping an object of art\, and fire made it solid. Sculptors get great pleasure from clay modeling. It evokes an excitement of the initial concept. Also it animates the reproductive faculties of the soul\, which come from spontaneous working process. \nYasumitsu Morito is a Japanese-born sculptor\, specializing in ceramics. He believes his role and responsibility\, as a sculptor presenting a work is to consider both the practical and aesthetic experience of the viewer. Practically\, he wants his sculpture to work as a vehicle of communication\, exhibiting a celebration of both craftsmanship and humanity. For him\, art can become a bridge between diverse communities and cultures\, and a connector of craftsmanship to the past and the future. \nIn his previous public sculpture\, “Spirit\,” which was installed at Riverside Park South in Manhattan in 2013\, the ceramic vessel acted both literally and metaphorically for the sculptural work\, allowing it to stay physically upright while pointing to a tradition of ceramics. The vessel introduced his pottery background in Mashiko\, Japan. It represented a continuing innovative tradition passed from one generation to another. The vessel also acted as the symbiosis for holding together the remnants of many civilizations. \nOn the other hand\, sculpting figures from life has made him think about the relationship between solid form and empty space.  For example\, the solid mass of a seated figure and then the empty space between the legs\, arms and thighs\, or arm resting on waist\, etc.\,  Natural forms always constitute integrated volumes\, while geometric forms offer sharp corners\, straight lines or flat planes.  Also from the point of view of his cultural background\, emptiness is an interesting theme in terms of the composition and in the context of Zen.  From his experience of public sculptures\, the balance between volume and void enhances the sculpture itself as well as the surrounding space.

SUMMARY:Calling All Crocheters for the SECOND World Amigurumi Exhibition in NY this December!
DESCRIPTION:Our first World Amigurumi Exhibit was such a huge success that we’ve decided to make this an annual exhibit! \nOur goal is to completely fill our gallery space with at least 3\,000 amigurumi. We want to turn the gallery into an “amigurumi room”\, filled to the brim with cuddly and cute! This is a unique exhibition in that it’s not displaying an individual artist\, but a concept. The concept\, amigurumi\, is a culture that began in Japan\, but is now cherished by crocheters all over the world. We were so inspired by the amount of amigurumi artists out there that we decided to embark on a journey to create an exhibition showcasing the united\, global love of this cute craft! To make this a successful exhibit\, we need amigurumi contributions from crocheters everywhere! \nGo on a video tour of last year’s World Amigurumi Exhibition! \n \n\nExhibition Theme Description\nWhat started as a unique Japanese crochet art only a few decades ago\, amigurumi is now spreading across the globe. As a Japanese cultural center in New York\, RESOBOX is looking to uncover and explore the core of what makes amigurumi so loved through this exhibit. \nIn order to examine how the amiguurmi culture is developing in each area of the world\, we want each artist to show a characteristic or feature of their country or local area in their amigurumi pieces. Some ideas you can use are: amigurumi with your country’s colors\, a special type of yarn or other materials (beads\, embellishments\, fabric\, etc.) well known in your country\, amigurumi wearing cultural clothes\, etc. Feel free to come up with your own ideas as well! We want to show each country’s unique features while connecting them through the common medium of amigurumi! \nTheme Example: Amigurumi Bear With Colombian Wayuu Bag\nThis amigurumi was designed and created by Jennifer Ramirez from Colombia. \nWayuu is one of the many Amerindian tribes that exist in Colombia. Wayuu (also Wayu\, Wayúu\, Guajiro\, Wahiro) is an American Indian ethnic group of the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia and northwest Venezuela. \nIn this piece\, Jennifer successfully combines a part of her culture (the Colombian Wayuu bag) with crocheting to create a cute and unique amigurumi! \n\nPhotographs by Jennifer Ramirez \n\nBasic Exhibit Information\n\nDuration: December 11\, 2015 to February 28\, 2016\nLocation: RESOBOX\, 41-26 27th St\, Long Island City\, NY 11101 | www.resobox.com\nIt would be great if you could come to NY during the exhibition\, but you don’t have to.

SUMMARY:Brother Ken / A Night of Tanabata
DESCRIPTION:At Brother Diner\, on the hot summer night of Tanabata\, while people enjoy eating crushed ice with sweet syrup\, something unusual happens… \nTanabata is the star festival in Japan. This is also a celebration of a love story between Vega and Altair\, who are separated by The Milky Way. The lovers only meet once a year\, on July 7th\, the Night of Tanabata. People celebrate their rendezvous by displaying bamboo branches with strips of paper and ornaments. Their wishes are written on a strip of paper because on the night of Tanabata these wishes come true. \n“Brother Ken (ブラザー軒)”\, meaning Brother Diner\, is one of the songs sung by Wataru Takada\, a unique voice in the Japanese folk song movement of the 1970s\, who was influenced by American folk songs and protest movement. The lyrics are by Katumi Sugawara.

SUMMARY:Gold Box Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:* Now until August 16th! \n  \n\nThe gold box is storage for your impressions.\nThere are many gold boxes in your heart.\nCold boxes\, bright boxes.\nWhat kind of view is spreading in your gold box? \nAbout the Artist\nBorn and raised in Japan’s ancient capital city of Kyoto\, Mayuko’s work is based on traditional training and on her observation of the spectacle of Japanese life. Between 2006-2009\, she completed a widely renowned 46-painting ceiling project at the 500-year old Buddhist Temple\, The Kannonji in Osaki\, Tokyo. \nMayuko also received recognition for special awards in several competitions in Tokyo. \nOne of them was first prize among 10\,000 participants in a Japanese calligraphy competition. \nIn 2011\, Mayuko had an exhibition\, Harugesyo at The Nippon Club in Manhattan\, sponsored by the Consulate General of Japan in New York.\nMayuko’s latest challenge comes in using silk kimono for her work. The inspiration for this came when she found almost a thousand beautiful antique kimono in her grandparents’ old warehouse. Unfortunately\, most of them were already too damaged to wear\, but they were also too beautiful to become trash. Mayuko decided that she should create a new life for them\, and in this exhibition\, they do come to life. \nThis show is Mayuko’s gift to the world\, inspired by the world she sees around her in New York. \nWEBSITE | FACEBOOK

In Japanese classical dance\, the dancer interprets the poetry being sung in addition to dancing along with the music.

The essence of iaido is to draw the sword\, defeat your opponent and re-sheathe the sword. All of iaido practice consists of kata for both solo practitioner and for partners (using wooden swords). Iaido evolved as a safe means for learning sword techniques. It is very polite and intended to cool\, rather than arouse\, emotion. \nVisit the IAIDO class page → \nJODO (JAPANESE STICK FIGHTING) | Deborah Klens-Bigman\nJodo is a stick-fighting art that dates back several hundred years. Its original purpose was non-lethal control of a swordsman. Jodo developed as a law-enforcement practice during the Edo Period (1602-1868). Policemen in Japan today still practice it. Jodo consists solely of two-person kata practice\, in which the swordsman attacks but is subdued by the person wielding the stick. Jodo practice includes some light contact\, but no grappling or free-sparring. \nVisit the JODO class page → \nSUMI-E (JAPANESE INK PAINTING) | ChiFong (Mathew) Wong\nSumi-e\, also called Suiboku-ga\, is the art of ink wash-painting. Characteristically\, it is an East Asian art\, and has been practiced there for well over a thousand years. Sumi-e depicts the spirit or essence of an object or scene rather than its outward appearance — and does so in the fewest possible strokes. Because of this simplicity\, the painter’s character and personality come through in his/her work. In both viewing and creating\, Sumi-e is a very contemplative form of painting. \nVisit the SUMI-E class page → \nJAPANESE LANGUAGE | Hiroko Miyashita\nCome and learn basic Japanese while watching anime! In this class you will build basic Japanese conversational skills to allow you to carry on a basic dialogue with others. From greetings and introductions to asking for information and shopping\, this course will provide you with necessary skills that you can use in everyday life.

SUMMARY:World of Shojo Manga: Mirrors of Girls Desires
DESCRIPTION:Shojo Manga! Girl Power!: Evolution and and Transformation of Japanese Girls’ Comics\nMany different kinds of manga have been published for different ages\, genders\, and fans’ favorite themes since the 1970s. One of the major characteristics of Japanese manga is that manga has split into Boy’s (shonen) and Girl’s (shojo) manga\, each developing in its own way. Based on readers’ expectations\, each boy’s and girl’s manga has its own theme. Regardless of the subject\, the main theme in boy’s manga is competitive fighting\, how the heroes become men by protecting women\, family\, country\, or the earth from enemies. The theme of girl’s manga is simply love. In brief\, the most important thing for girls is how to find love through a process of overcoming obstacles. \n \nHowever\, the topics in shojo manga have changed in response to girls’ expectations and have developed into diverse subjects over the last 70 years since World War II. The role and the value of shojo manga has become significant in Japan. Regarding the visual images\, the grammar of Japanese manga is also highly developed with semiotic and semantic usage of composition\, which seldom appears in US comics after the 1960s. \nWhat is the cultural and historical background behind the development of shojo manga? Why has it become a worldwide phenomenon? How does it influence young minds (e.g. aesthetics and preferences) and change their society?\nThis lecture responds to the topics above\, showing a variety of fascinating visual images taken from representative shojo manga works from the 1970s to the present.

SUMMARY:SENDAI-TANSU (TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CABINETS) ON DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, you can see traditional\, handmade Japanese cabinets (tansu) made by Monmaya at RESOBOX!\n\nWhat is Sendai-tansu?\nThere are many theories as to its beginning\, but it is generally said that the Sendai-tansu’s origin dates back to when the samurai Masamune had ruled the Sendai region. The chief carpenter of that domain\, Hyuga Umemura\, was commissioned to build Sendai-tansu as furniture to put into Masamune’s castle. \nThe Sendai-tansu’s characteristic is the strong durable beauty that is the joint artistry of cabinetwork\, lacquer\, and metal fitting into one form. In the cabinetwork\, the front is made of Keyaki (a form of Zelkova) aged from ten years to a few decades and the inside is made using Kiri (commonly known as Empress tree) to avoid deformation. The laquering and polishing is repeated thirty times over in layers. Finally\, it is complete after being adorned with metal fittings that have representations associated with good fortune or the family emblem as motifs. \n\nRefurbishing Process\nHere’s a tansu that’s in pretty rough shape. It’s over 100 years old.\nFirst\, the metallic embellishments are removed\, given a rust-proofing and a coat of new paint.\nNext\, the old lacquer is stripped from the tansu\, revealing its original wooden exterior.\nFinally\, the tansu is given new lacquer\, sharpening\, and polish. This process is repeated 30 times.\nHere is the finished\, repaired tansu. Except for the doors\, all parts of the original tansu are present.\nUntil the early 1920s\, Sendai-tansu manufacturing was mainly done through division of labor. It was the third successor Tamizo\, who wanted the tansu craftsmen to carry out their craft with responsibility and pride. He began a system where one whole cabinet could be custom-made and repaired. Through this system\, many craftsmen were trained to top standards. In inheriting his belief we continue to train craftsmen and manufacture indifferent to the past\, as we must let such traditional skills be inherited to the future.

On display at our booth were calligraphy pieces by Shoko Kazama\, kimono art by MAYUKO Okada\, komodaru (sake barrels) by Kishimoto Kichiji Shoten and some amigurumi from the World Amigurumi Exhibit! \n\n\nWatch our promotional video: Mookie’s Adventure!\n \n\nGo on a video tour of the World Amigurumi Exhibition!\n \n\nWhat Are Amigurumi?\nCourtesy Rachel Hoe from Little Yarn Friends\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. \n\nJoin us at Vogue Knitting Live NYC in January!\nRESOBOX will collaborate with Vogue Knitting Live and have a small pop-up World Amigurumi Exhibition booth at the show. Also\, on January 18\, 2015 from 11:15 am – 12:00 pm\, Takashi Ikezawa\, creator and owner of RESOBOX will provide a lecture about the company\, including why and how the cultural center began its “World Amigurumi Exhibition” and Helen E. Moss\, an advisor at RESOBOX and a crochet instructor in Queeens and Manhattan\, will talk about amigurumi and show off some of the more intricately designed amigurumi from the “World Amigurumi Exhibition”. \nVogue Knitting Live NYC will take place at the New York Marriott Marquis\, January 16-18\, 2015.
