Celebrating Utsushiki's 7th Anniversary
Noserumi
good morning.
Just when you think you're feeling the chill of autumn, the muggy heat of summer returns...
How are you spending your time as the seasons come and go?
Well, Utsushiki is celebrating its 7th anniversary this month and is currently holding a packed anniversary exhibition.
This time it's the Utsushiki Exhibition!
The event included Yasuhide Ono's accessories, the first photo exhibition by video director Oda Yuta, and a number of other projects that brought together the expertise of each staff member.
On the day of the flower and moon festival, Mariko Tagami gave a talk on looking at vibrations, and the store manager Sae Konishi worked as a florist for a day...
In addition, last weekend we held our first ever two-person concert featuring Miho Ota and Arisa Kawai, two musicians who have released CDs through Utsushiki, and everyone was in awe of the performance.
Before that, there was a "Healthy" event featuring Ota Miho, Tanaka Hina, and Takakura Yuniko.
These are times that gently open your senses and give you a sense of security, encouraging you to take one step towards tomorrow.
As part of this, I, Noserumi, was also involved in planning one project.
The "Shiri" group is hosted in his home studio once every 14 days, during the new moon and full moon.
By coincidence, a full moon occurred during the event, and the day after the wonderful concert, a circle was formed in the space where "Kenko ni" was being held, which was the same as usual, but which could never be the same as usual.
At the new moon and full moon signs, you feel as if you are returning to being alone and continuing to place yourself in the here and now as the moon goes around.
Surrender your body and mind to the tea, words are born around the lamp, you meditate in silence, and enjoy a dish that connects you to the season.
It's difficult to explain any further than this, but it is a time that thrives thanks to the energy of those who gather there.
The unconscious and conscious are repeated, something that seems to go on forever...
Participants called it a "meditation tea ceremony," and it was an incredible joy to see each person absorb the event in the way that came to their mind.
This time, we decided to use a utsushiki and created a dish using grapes, a specialty of Miyawaka.
Thank you always.
And with congratulations on Utsushiki's 7th anniversary, this September is full of gratitude.

I hope you all have a wonderful early autumn!
