“Artist Noriyuki Haraguchi from the Viewpoint of 'Structure'”
Lecturer: Tsuchiya Seiichi
Haraguchi Noriyuki (1946—2020), an important artist in post-war Japan, has been treated in the framework of artists of the “Mono School” until now. However, it seems that Haraguchi's work was clearly based on a fundamentally different awareness of issues from artists who form the mainstream of the “Mono School.” Based on Haraguchi Noriyuki's solo exhibition to be held this year and its survey results, we will reconsider his awareness of issues in his work from the viewpoint of the “structure” of the work.

“Read “Hachcho Flower Densho”
Instructor: Hachiro Namihira
“Hachicho Flower Densho” is a Noh theory book and demonstration manual compiled by compiling various Noh documents in the late Muromachi period, and the author and year of establishment are unknown. It spread throughout the Edo period, and also influenced the art theory of Kyogen and Joruri. Meanwhile, Tamaki Asaka, who created “Kumidori,” was influenced by Edo's theatrical culture. At that time, “Hachchoka Densho” was widely read. The theatrical philosophy that Asa Kaoru may have been influenced by is found in “Hachchoka Densho.”

“Touching Invisible Values — Medieval European Church Treasures”
Instructor: Ota Izumi Florence
When I visit European churches, treasure rooms are still often set up. If you look inside, gold and silver containers and ceremonial vessels decorated with jewels are lined up, and you may be impressed by their brilliance as a treasure. However, the value of these treasures was created only by storing sacred things inside or using them in liturgy. By unraveling church treasure collections in medieval Europe, we explore how people have faced sacred beings and the role that sculptures played there.
