Conversation

*continuation* Story of my life

Inhale👃 Exhale👄

It's my turn to introduce myself in front so I stood up and walk towards the board and face my classmates.

Inhale👃 Exhale👄

You can do it! Don't be nervous!

Prof: You okay?

Me: A-eh y-yes prof!

Arrgh! Do I stammered? Yea probably! Shame on yourself! Tsk. Okay okay. Fighting! This is just an introduction.

Me: H-hi everyone! I'm Rukawa Nawa, but call me rukawa for short. 12 years of age. I'm from Guagua but stayin' in lubao for good. Some of my hobbies are singing, reading and writing. Hmmmm. Well, that's all thank you. Hope you'll be good to me hehe.

Prof: Good. Oh you can sing?

Even I am too shy, I nodded my head.

Classmates: Sample! Sample! Sample!

Prof: Oh how it is Ms. Nawa, can you show us your talent?

Goshhhh! What the heck did I just do? I don't want an attention huhu.

Me: O-okay prof!

Classmates: Yuhooooo!

Me: 🎶Heaven Knows🎶 Girl version

He's always on my mind from the time I wake up till I close my eyes...

Classmate 1: O-M she has a nice voice!

Classmate 2: Her voice is very soft!

Classmate 3: I like her already! Yiee!

Tok! Tok!

So I stopped, when someone's knocked on the door. I should thank him/her whoever he/she is.

Prof: Oh Mr. Hiroshi why are you late?

Then It was caught our attention, My mouth's tiny open when I saw who it is. The guy at the bookstore! Is it coincidence? How can this happen?

That guy: Sorry, I'm late.

Then next thing I knew, he looked at me in surprised. But he quickly get himself back to normal. Tsk. Is he always like that? I'm just curious. Huh.

Japanese Art, on Its Own Terms

New Post has been published on https://usnewsaggregator.com/japanese-art-on-its-own-terms/

Japanese Art, on Its Own Terms

How to prevent flattening cultural context while encouraging foreign audiences to embrace the unfamiliar? Ms. Hasegawa tackles that question in “Japanorama.” Having previously presented Japanese contemporary art in Brazil, Britain and Germany, she “looked very carefully at the past 10-15 years: what was organized, what kind of Japanese contemporary art has been collected in public institutions in Europe.” She continued: “I want to bring awareness to context behind what people misunderstand, to the social commentary behind the works.”

Ms. Hasegawa’s vast and thoughtful synopsis encompasses six themes (called “archipelagos”) that bridge art, architecture, video, fashion and music. She porously connects movements and multimedia across two floors, with a mise-en-scène conceived by the Tokyo architects SANAA. (The Pompidou Center Metz itself was designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban).

The first section, “Strange Object/Post-Human Body,” confronts visitors with “Electric Dress,” a multicolored cluster of lights, created in 1956 by Atsuko Tanaka, that prefigures today’s evolving relationship between the physical and the digital. The piece resonates with Comme des Garçons garments on display, which present an alternative approach to Western ideas of beauty and body image.

Transfigurations unfurl throughout this section: Ms. Hasegawa notes “traumatic ideas about the atomic bomb and pollution-activated mutation” in two “very weird, very critical” late 1960s cocoon pods by Tetsumi Kudo). New technology informs the work of the ’80s collective Dumb Type, the techno-pop musical outfit Yellow Magic Orchestra and the programmers and artists behind Rhizomatiks. Rhizomatiks contributes a visualization of Bitcoin’s blockchain system rejigged according to live transactions, in a digital ballet that shows a forward-looking evolution of Japanese creativity.

Within the Pop Art sphere, Ms. Hasegawa has highlighted works with a strong conceptual background and Japanese specificity. She wishes to undercut the way in which Japanese pop culture is often understood as sunny or silly: The graphic kitsch is, in fact, inherently critical, she says. “It’s vernacular — but also very sophisticated,” she added. The artist Takashi Murakami’s work in this vein, is perhaps the most well-known, but it is also the most misunderstood. The painted smileys of his “Cosmos” are not just bright and fun — the composition owes everything to 18th-century Edo paintings. His lesser-known “Polyrhythm Red” canvas, adorned with Tamiya soldier figurines, reflects, Ms. Hasegawa said, “Japanese culture becoming childish,” and a malaise about violence and vulnerability.

The exhibition also overturns the seeming naïveté of “kawaii,” Japan’s signature brand of cute, to reveal assertions of sociopolitical frustration. A 2002 kimono using Bingata, the traditional dyed fabric of Okinawa — where the artist Yuken Teruya grew up, near a United States Army base — is especially striking. The cheery flowers and trees on the garment are, upon closer inspection, composed of fighter planes and parachutes.

The exhibition concludes with a section on “Materiality and Minimalism,” highlighting examples such as Hiroshi Sugimoto’s calm photographs of horizon lines and Ryoji Ikeda’s trancelike work based on numerical data. “It’s a landing,” Ms. Hasegawa said of the exhibition’s finale, to “look at something sublime.”

Kohei Nawa’s breathtaking “Force,” an installation of viscous black silicone oil, which rains down without making a splash, appears soothing, but this is deceptive: Its subject is radioactive fallout. Like many works in “Japanorama,” it shows that simple does not mean straightforward, that beautiful things can contain disquieting fears.

To grapple with these nuances requires being open to another perspective. In this sense, the show’s most emblematic piece is by the artist Shimabuku. His video “Then, I Decided to Give a Tour of Tokyo to the Octopus from Akashi,” is as gently funny as it is affecting. He collects an octopus from his hometown and brings it to the metropolis on the bullet train — takes it to the fish market, introduces it to another octopus there — and eventually releases it back into the sea. It’s a fitting narrative for visitors to the exhibition, who, at the end, are returned to their usual setting, more enlightened for having explored an unfamiliar territory.

Cubo Design Architect pairs blackened wood with concrete for house in coastal Japanese city

An angular, blackened wood structure sits atop two concrete blocks to form this house in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture, designed by Cubo Design Architect.

Located in the city of Odawara, in the vicinity of a 15th century castle, Hafye is designed to create the feeling of being suspended in mid-air – hence the top-heavy design.

This unusual form, described by locally based Cubo Design Architect as animal-like, was developed directly in response to the brief set by the client.

"The client, who was born and raised in Odawara, wanted a relaxing home where he and his family could look out on this familiar, yet constantly changing landscape" said the team.

"The gently linked rooms are divided into zones by differing floor elevations and ceiling heights, but one can enjoy the views and natural light from each space."

To emphasise the difference between the upper and lower volumes, the building's reinforced concrete structure was left exposed at the base, while the upper sections are clad in dark-stained timber.

Inside, the house contains an open-plan kitchen and living space, two main bedrooms and bathrooms, a guest room and a music room.

Initially, the concrete ground-floor volumes were only going to be used an entrance. But later, at the client's request, this was extended to form the music room and guest room.

This dimly lit entrance space leads directly through to a staircase, bringing residents up into the light-filled "mid-air" volume above.

Here, living spaces are fronted by floor-to-ceiling windows that open out to a balcony, where occupants can look out over the city.

The children's bedroom is located within the pointed end of the overhanging structure, which angles down diagonally to follow the slope of the road.

"The overhanging first floor looks like a nose of an elephant – which I had in mind when I first looked at the site" Hiroshi Saruta of Cubo Design Architect told Dezeen.

The internal materials and textures were chosen to resemble nature, to create the feeling of being outside. The ground floor combines board-marked concrete with wooden fittings and a stone floor.

The simply finished first floor features painted walls that can be used as blackboards, and puts focus on the kitchen's statement unit, which is made from solid stone and wood.

The team also landscaped the sloped site, to create a space the family can use as a vegetable garden.

Stripped-back holiday chalet by Florian Busch is set at the foot of Mount Yōtei in Japan

Cubo Design Architect is led by architects Hitoshi Saruta, Tomonori Takauchi and Masanori Kanetani. They completed Hafye in late 2015. It has a total floor area of 187 square metres.

Photography is by Hiroshi Ueda.
