空気の写真集
『空気のような漠然としたものを追い続け、それを物質化することに対して否定的であるといっていいほどに繊細であった一人のデザイナー。物質化に対する逡巡をつきつめるという事は、そもそも物質界に生きることからのがれられない人間にとってみれば、命を切り刻むことにも等しかったのか。この写真集をながめていると倉俣の早逝の原因がわかるような気がしてくる。』
ーーーーー 「倉俣史朗」 上田実=編 原美術館 1996

富山県
Japanese Prefectures: Chūbu - Toyama
都道府県 (とどうふけん) - Prefectures of Japan
Learning the kanji and a little bit about each of Japan’s 47 prefectures!
Kanji・漢字
富 と(む)、とみ、フ、フウ wealth, enrich, abundant
山 やま、サン、セン mountain
県 ケン prefecture
中部 ちゅうぶ Chūbu, Central Japan, the central region of Japan
Prefectural Capital (県庁所在地) : Toyama (富山市)
Toyama Prefecture is a part of the central region of Japan, also known as Hokuriku (北陸). Takaoka city is the birthplace of Fujiko F. Fujio, the creator of Doraemon, with many Doraemon-themed delights for visitors. Toyama lies along the Sea of Japan and includes part of the spectacular Northern Japan Alps. Gourmet seafood, idyllic scenery, cultural attractions, and a slower pace are all easily accessible by shinkansen from Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Toyama is an important rice-producing area, as well as sourcing hydroelectric power and minerals from the nearby mountains that serve as a basis for chemical, textile, machinery, pulp and paper, and steel industries. The capital city of Toyama and Takaoka have long been the chief center for the production of patent medicine and drugs.
Recommended Tourist Spot・おすすめ観光スポット Gokayama Ainokura Village - 相倉合掌造り集落
Gokayama Ainokura Village (source)
The Gokayama region is an area within the city of Nanto in Toyama Prefecture. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List due to its traditional gassho-zukuri houses (similar to Shirakawa-go in Gifu). The region is secluded within the mountains in the upper reaches of the Shogawa River, thus preserving this unique traditional architectural style. Gokayama's lifestyle and culture remained very traditional for many years after the modernization of the majority of the country, and many of the houses here are over 300 years old.
Ainokura is the largest of these villages, with nearly 20 gassho-zukuri farmhouses. Many are still private residences, although some have been converted into restaurants, museums, and minshuku, where you can stay overnight at a farm house. With less development and more difficulty to reach this secluded village, there is less tourist traffic than some of the other villages. There are visiting hours attached to the village to avoid disturbing the residents (8:30-17:00), thus helping to preserve the quiet life in this village.
Folk dances, music utilizing unique, traditional instruments, and special washi paper techniques characterize this area. You can listen to the sasara, an instrument made of over a hundred wooden clappers strung together, which is symbolic of the region and a popular souvenir. There are also washi paper workshops where you can try your hand at making washi paper.
Regional Cuisine - 郷土料理 Kombujime - 昆布締め
Kombujime (source)
Kombujime (also kobujime) is a local Toyama dish made by sandwiching light-tasting foods such as whitefish (most commonly marlin) and wild vegetables between sheets of kelp (or kombu). Other popular fillings include other whitefish, shrimp, tofu, and beef. The prefecture boasts the highest kelp consumption, and thus kombu is also widely available at supermarkets.
The technique used to make kombujime (which means "kombu curing") enhances the taste of the sashimi through aging the fish between two sheets of kombu. This technique softens the fish texture and the glutamates from the kelp transfer over to the fish, accentuating its flavor.
Toyama Dialect・Toyama-ben・富山弁
Toyama-ben is also called Etchu-ben (越中弁), and consists of West (Gosei, 呉西), East (Gotō, 呉東), and Gokayama (五箇山) dialects. The dialect is a combination of sounds and features close to Kansai and Tohoku dialects, but still quite different from the other dialects in the Hokuriku area.
うい ui
Standard Japanese: いっぱい 、満足、胸やお腹が苦しい (ippai, mune ya onaka ga kurushii) English: I'm stuffed; my chest or stomach feels tight
食べ過ぎて、はらういわ。 tabesugite, hara ui wa
食べ過ぎて、はらいっぱい。 tabesugite, hara ippai
I ate too much, I'm stuffed.
2. きどくな kidokuna
Standard Japanese: ありがとう (arigatou) English: thank you
あら、きどくな。 ara, kidokuna
あら、ありがとう。 ara, arigatou
Oh my, thank you.
3. じゃまない (jyamanai)
Standard Japanese: 大丈夫、問題ない (daijyoubu, mondai nai) English: I'm OK, no problem
A: 体調、いかがですか? B: じゃまない、じゃまない! A: taichou, ikaga desu ka? B: jamanai, jamanai!
A: 体調、いかがですか? B: 大丈夫、大丈夫! A: taichou, ikaga desu ka? B: daijyoubu, daijyoubu
A: How are you feeling? B: I'm doing well!
4. こわい (kowai)
Standard Japanese: かたい (katai) English: firm, tough
このご飯、��わいわ。 kono gohan, kowai wa.
このご飯、かたいなあ。 kono gohan, katai naa.
This rice is really hard.
5. つかえん (tsukaen) (also, なん nan、つけん tsuken)
Standard Japanese: かまわない、問題ない (kamawanai, mondai nai) English: it's fine, it's no problem
A: もう少し、待っていただけますか? B: つかえんちゃ! A: mou sukoshi, matte itadakemasu ka? B: tsukaen cha!
A: もう少し、待っていただけますか? B: 問題ない! A: mou sukoshi, matte itadakemasu ka? B: mondai nai!
A: Can you please wait a little longer? B: No problem!

The classic ones I grew up on.
Took a picture in front of Sailor Mars for a friend.

My second favorite Inner Senshi. Atlas no Outer Senshi. >.<
Nogizaka46 Version Musical 2019 on the left.
Kaguya-hime no Koibito on the right from 2021.

Now entering the Nakayoshi room! Lots and lots of little giveaways as the series are original being published in the 90s. Most of these I never seen before.

BLOG 4: Gift of Beauty
Beck et al. (2018) defines the ‘gift of beauty’ as how interpretation should have the power to instill the desire to sense the beauty in their surroundings. It should be more than simply seeing something as beautiful; instead acting as kindling for an inner desire to truly study and appreciate the history and beauty on a deeper level. This is where I believe nature interpretation through the various forms of arts is vital. Many people may never see Mount Everest in person or witness the Northern Stars, but through visual arts, they can still connect with those places.
This past summer I visited the Whyte Museum in Banff, Alberta. Inside was their summer exhibition of paintings that J.H.E Macdonald made back in the 1900s of Lake O’Hara. Beside them were similar paintings made in the 2000s by Robert Munn and Patty Cucman, who retraced Macdonald’s steps to find his paint sites. Through their artwork and dedication, between the two paintings we can see how much of the landscape had changed or stayed the same overtime (Whyte Museum 2024). Seeing how the sizes of glaciers changed and where trees had fallen reinforced my belief of how important awareness is in order to conserve the environment around us for future generations.
Nature is often a large source of inspiration for artists in all shapes and forms. While I’m not very talented in capturing landscapes on paper and canvases, I find joy in composing and taking pictures of the environment around me. Photography has become my artistic way of memorializing the scenes I see around me, and sharing those images is one of the many ways I interpret nature to others. One of my favorite shots is a series of pictures of Mount Rundle. The mountain stands the same as it has for years, and the stars above are the same that people many years before us may have seen as well. It offers a glimpse into the vastness of the world around us and how much history each area– urbanized or suburban– holds. Through these photographs, I hope to offer viewers a similar experience, one that will compel them to look at nature a little closer than before.
Art, no matter the medium, gives us a way to convey the ‘gift of beauty’. The past and the present can be captured to hopefully inspire future generations to seek out connections with the environment around them. Visual arts pose as both a record and a call to action. In the present year, temperatures and other indicators of climate change increase every year. The scenery around us might not be the same in 50 or 100 years, but through artistic mediums we can share the beauty and importance of preservation. Overall, I believe that the ‘gift of beauty’ holds more power than most know or acknowledge.

Project Amygdala Excerpt 1-- Maren Hara
Now that I am in the groove of writing in her voice Maren is with me everywhere I go. It feels terrifying to get into the habit of sharing pieces of my fiction since it has always been more concealed in me, but I am very proud of how it's coming along and litfic is just so special to me. For the full effect listen to "Coffee Stain," by Sarah Harmer or something equally devastating. Enjoy a peek into baby Maren!
"...letting my hands play a tune across the iron bars as I walked. I imagined them as the ridges on a whale’s chin. I’d never seen a whale in the flesh, only a reconstructed skeleton hanging from the museum Dad took me to a handful of times before deciding it played too much into my, “sentimentality.” I had to look that word up in my dictionary after the trip. The whale was suspended from the ceiling, bones wired into place to give the illusion of turning in the water. I was enchanted. She was a blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, and I stood under her length for what felt like hours, imagining the nervous system and muscles and blubber and skin that would have filled the room even further. Her chin was what hypnotized me furthest. Deep cracks running the entire length of her jaw, holding the baleen plates that I pictured brushing against my arms. Would they have sung against my fingertips too? I wanted to try it, to float to the ceiling of the room to be with her. Dad moved on, looking for something to do with his own interests in Pathology, and I stayed there until he found me to go home. He asked me from the drivers seat, cocking his head to the side without turning as he did until I was old enough to ride shotgun. “What was your favorite part?” he asked. “The blue whale,” I whispered, the reverence still within me. “Tell me why.” Once I had found my words again he gave many prompting requests like this. I never worked out if he actually wanted to know. “I think she’s sacred,” I said softer still, embarrassed even then for him to hear my child’s piety. He was silent, looking ahead and flexing his hands on the wheel the way he did when he wasn’t sure how to handle me. He didn’t start deconstructing these moments of mine until a couple years later, when he realized it was not simply childlike wonder and absurdity, but that I actually felt spiritual ties to anything at all."

This is at the Design Museum, in London. Which is crazy right now, because on the same road - South Kensington - Japan House (The Cultural Home of Japan in London) stands, which Kenya Hara oversees… and in Japan House right now is an exhibition called Design Discoveries: Towards a DESIGN MUSEUM JAPAN; of which there isn’t one in Japan. Although known for its unique design sensibilities across architecture, crafts, and product design, Japan has no single museum or space dedicated to cataloguing and preserving and exhibiting Design. As an initiative to change this, Issey Miyake took it upon himself to found one… an initiative that has since fallen into the hands of- surprisingly - of NHK Educational Corp. Senior Producer, Kuramori Kyōko, who inherited the baton through friendship.
All of this fascinates me! It’s really interesting the connections across continents and cultures and now times… and this is all to say—trust the process!
#2022#I didn’t even mean to write a bunch but I just love this whole exploration they’re engaged in right now#and for me a lot of the book designing design is like a monument to what they’re interrogating and researching right now

Curatorial Text:
CALIGRAPHIC POETICS OF ASÉMIC WRITING
por Tchello d’Barros*
“Asemic writing seems to be a gigantic, unexplored territory.”
Tim Gaze
The exhibition “ESCRIBAS – 1st International Exhibition of Asémic Writing” presents a collection of works in images with abstract spellings, in the language that is becoming known as Asémic Writing. The set, made up of creations from different parts of the planet, also reveals the plurality of techniques and resources for the realization of these works, transiting between calligraphy, abstraction, engraving and even Visual Poetry.
This show promoted by Instituto Imersão Latina in partnership with The Virtual Museum of Visual Poetry, features 26 works by artists from 18 countries in the V Beagá Psiu Poético program, setting up the first international collective exhibition of this modality held in Brazil.
Spontaneously arising in different cultures throughout history, consolidated as an artistic language at the end of the 20th century, the Asémic Writing still very rare, has been gaining visibility, whether with exhibitions, publications, epistemological studies or placement on the Internet. This hybrid art, which transits between word and image, survived the typographic tsunami of the digital age, privileging handwriting (mainly), albeit abstract, as an expressive manifestation.
The works are made up of often invented letters, words that keep calligraphic remnants, sentence fragments that form thought-provoking abstract figures, configuring every movement that has thickened its network of supporters on all continents. It is an art free of academic labels, institutional immobilization and shallow public cultural policies for the promotion, collection and dissemination of experimental languages. Drawing, painting, infogravure, collages, digital art, interventions and photographs are just some of the resources present in this type of creations, presented here from a perspective of diversity of styles.
It is said of the works of Asémic Writing, which are purposely emptied of meaning – because they are absent of enunciation or message – which does not prevent them from making sense, from the perception of those who observe, since there is a silent dialogue between such contents and the entire lexical and imagery framework of those who immerse themselves in viewing these images.
Theorists of Art in Expanded Field or Expanded Poetry, usually place Asémic Writing in the broad scope of Experimental Poetry. So, provoking reflections on the poetic phenomenon in aspects that strain the limits of language, questioning aesthetic aspects of the hybridity characteristic of contemporary art and provoke the debate about where the compass of poetic making points in our time, are some of the premises that guided the curatorial process for this show.
*Tchello d’Barros is writer, visual artist and curador.
