I visited YUKARI ART MINI, Tokyo in Nov. 12, 2022.
To install my newest two works, ' Carps ' & ' next stop is Akasaka-mitsuke ' .
Carp is the symbolic fish of Hiroshima.
And Akasaka-mitsuke is the name of a station of subway in Tokyo.
Thought It looked like they doesn't have so many relevance each other,
Yukari said intuitively, " these are compatible definitely ! "
When we decided the simultaneous release,
suddenly two titles fused in my heart.
I call this mini exhibition " Koi Mitsuke ".
As you guess, " Koi " means carp in Japanese.
As if this coined word have no meaning, the sound is not bad, isn't it ?
Letters are also beautiful !
By the way, let me introduce another word having the same sound of ' Koi ' .
That is 恋 . Its meaning is ' love '
And ' Mitsuke ' comes from the word means ' find '.
So someone would deciphered " Koi Mitsuke " as " Find Love ".
The euphonious fusion has generated a good omen automatically apart from the concept of my works.
At the same time,
collaboration of two of works got to make good groove of the lines.
Installation view of ' next stop is Akasaka-mitsuke '
&
' Carps '..,
and whole view.
You can listen the comfortable sound of the train of Tokyu Toyoko line here.
I saw the test run of the newest train with the night sky color.
I hope you enjoy each works,
and something you feel in between them, too
with scenery reflected.
Thank you.
