As the heart follows...

 Kazuto KASHIWAKURA
If my life were a book, it would have no title. Time flies, images born, which make a clauses to become a chapter, and finally a book to be published. My works are not limited to 2D nor 3D, fragmenting the feelings of everyday, scenery I see and mixing with images

 Isamu HASHIMOTO, "Pongee"
It is a miracle to encounter the living creatures that share the moment with you. Connections influence all the components to help go back to the origin. Connecting each of the appearing and disappearing moments is an act of living itself. The works created with natural materials will resonate with the history that lies beneath Shinshokaku.

 Yoshinori ARAI
Last few years, I started a gallery and also gave installations in places like houses and shrines. This time I look forward to seeing what it looks like in such a traditional Japanese environment as Shinshokaku. How does it visually and mentally appeal to the viewers in this historic environment?  
http://en-gallery.com
 Akihiko ITOH
I look forward to seeing the various corporal senses awake at Shinshokaku inside the garden.
 Tadayuki FUJII
"What is the nature of the act of creation?", I wonder in my greenery thoughts. While I try to give a shape to something that cannot be put into words, even a tiny piece of memories or thoughts remains unexpressed. The edge of ambiguity stays blur and undecided. There is nothing but the standing-out reality consisting of the unbearable stupid human acts. Why not take a time and play around with greenery vaporization like birds forests do...

 Tadashi TAMARU
Water surface and ripples, textile and yarn. Synchronization that can be seen among swarms or shoals. Scenery that has already been taken into account. Absolute color, absolute form, and absolute flat. I would like to synchronize those with Shinshokaku's time and place. http://www3.ocn.ne.jp/~galleryt/
 Mici OGAWA
It is said that the invention of photography killed the tradition of realism. In the history, the predecessors sought the way of expressions regardless of artistic or anti-artistic. So do we today. There is no end or beginning. In this complicated contemporary society we have to keep inventing and discovering art. Therefore, we must be brave and face the new melody.
 Junzaburo SUZUKI
What can art tell and cannot tell under the current situation? Your heart is floating between these two questions. Art can be just an everyday accessory but I look for more than words can tell.
 Junki MATSUI
There is a crossing point There are superposing faces Spaces that can't be seen I would like to describe rutting time and space

 Hiroshi KAKIZAKI

It is always surprisingly refreshing to meet the botany of trees, especially seeds that pass down the lives. The way wild birds wriggle tells the shining of the lives. The motivation for my creation comes from the excitement I get from plants and birds in forests and woods throughout the four seasons. I would like to express adoration for vibrating lives in the nature.
 Toshiya SHIMOZAWA
"Re-birth", reproduce instead of let fade away. Fading away is not the end but the start. I will express the lives born from fade-away using the clay as primordial ingredient.
