SUMMARY:Mayumi Oda: A Prayer For The New Birth Of Japan
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Overview I have recently returned  to an active life in the arts\, painting Buddhist subjects in the ancient  Yamato-e (literally "Japanese painting") style. Through this process\, I  have rediscovered traditional paper\, inks and brushes and the beauty of  classical mounting techniques. I showed my new works to the Honolulu  Museum of Art in early 2011\, and was surprised when the museum proposed  an exhibition. This seemed a perfect opportunity to  sift through the recesses of my culture and explore the use of  traditional means to represent current themes. I have been at work for  more than a year now\, painting my thoughts and feelings about the  difficult situations that we are now facing: the devastation of the  earth\, violence\, and war. My work is intended as a heartfelt letter to a  world that has turned down a dangerous path.  Not only  has this project given me the opportunity to explore my heritage of  traditional Japanese art\, but\, more importantly\, I have learned to  embrace a philosophy and lifestyle that advocates peace between people  and the land. This way of life has increasingly been threatened in the  last 70 years; starting with Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, and continuing with  Fukushima\, the fear of nuclear holocaust is ever more tangible. The  Shintö sun goddess Amaterasu that is one of the subjects of this  exhibition is a symbol of our continuing life force; it is my hope that  we\, as the children of Amaterasu\, can transform our beloved earth into a  land of love and aloha.-Mayumi Oda\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site
