Yamamoto Motoi

I stay in Kyoto for production from the day before yesterday. Kyoto is good! Because there are many alleys. I like the history. Therefore, I am glad when I walk the alley of Kyoto. I feel living in the various times. Kanazawa where I live in and Onomichi of birth have many alleys. Therefore I may be to like an alley.


There is this place in Maruyama Park adjacent to Yasaka-jinja Shrine. It is the gallery who redecorated the Japanese traditional restaurant. It is the gallery who redecorated the Japanese house. It has a dark basement and tea-ceremony room, etc,. And half cherry blossoms bloom to the decoy of Maruyama Park.

I exhibit 2 installation works and some drawings.
It is the storm of the cherry blossoms on the opening reception, Friday April 2.

Sakura, the cherry blossoms of my home, today flowering. Spring came to my city, Kanazawa! The seedling of "Kawazu Sakura" which I purchased for the motifs of the work last year. One of them of the inside was open only a few minutes ago. This is a cherry blossoms of the early blooming. And, the color taste is slightly thick, too.




I made "improvement to have you enjoy a work more" on the work in the end of February. The refinement is 3.

1) You can be in the work ( It is the part of the floor without the salt! )
2) The protection guard of the work changed it into a low thing.
3) I established the stairs. Therefore you can look at the whole work from the high position.

These decision was accompanied with difficulty. However, I decided it. The uneasiness of the destruction is left. I pray from Kanazawa not to be broken. Please sense it bodily by all means if there is an opportunity to go to the art museum.

Thank you,
