it was march 2021 when artist soichiro mihara and aesthete yosaku matsutani visited engawanoie and said, “i was introduced by curator yukiko shikata.” while we were having tea on the engawa (veranda), it was naturally decided to install mihara’s artwork in engawanoie. since the early summer of 2021, when it was actually installed, the “bell” has been quietly telling us about the existence of things we cannot see, but which are there. it rings, as it should, so casually that i feel that our narrative about this land is also as it should be.
the exhibition is streamed live (free/24 hours) from 15 venues including engawanoie.

V4C engawanoie shooting night on the occasion of the japan project of the documentary film Voyage for Change cook together eat together! date: saturday, 20 april 2019 from 18h00 venue: engawanoie
documentary film Voyage for Change This film is an adventure – a catalyst for inner transformation of young grown-ups alike; a trigger for positive actions of Hope & Change where teen protagonists take the lead. The documentary Voyage for Change follows teens as they travel the world from Paris to Delhi, San Francisco, Tokyo – and other destinations. Meeting peers from different cultures and lifestyles, committed adults, changemakers and experts alike, they question the answers we grown-ups all too often have ready – immune to the simple and straight-forward challenges of those who will outlive us for many years.

暑さや気圧の変化でなんだか調子悪いなあ、、という時、私はとかしやさんにじっくり体に熱を入れてもらいます。すると目がぱっちり！頭も身体もスッキリ元気になるのです。
