This time, only ink. A collaboration of black hoods, black sweets, and ink titled "Black Exhibition" by Aoki Mono. For the first time, 20 pieces of "calligraphy" written in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake will be publicly displayed.
"Aokimono" began as an endeavor in calligraphy, inspired by the experience of encountering the Great East Japan Earthquake in Sendai, where I felt that "I don't know when or how things will change." This fleeting thought led me to the determination to shape whatever I could create.
This time, I will hold a solo exhibition titled "Kuro Ten," featuring 20 carefully selected works from over 80 pieces I have created over the past year and a half. The theme is "Media Bi-Callygraphy," a coined term meaning a unified piece of calligraphy in both Japanese and English, represented by a single word.
On the 15th (Saturday), to commemorate the exhibition, I will serve black food and black sweets for free at the venue, Tokyo's Suginami "+cafe." Additionally, on the 15th (Saturday), the first 30 people who register in advance through the website and attend will receive a complimentary drink and a souvenir from the "Kuro Ten" exhibition.
