All of the artwork is inspired by Japanese aesthetics with the majority of pieces coming from Japan. The exhibition highlights how Japanese artistry combines traditional elements such as paper and calligraphy with modern themes and techniques\, particularly in bookmaking and print. These limited-edition and one-of-a-kind works celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its influence on artistic expression\, showcasing a blend of sophistication and creativity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nThis exhibition introduces audiences to an art form that many are not aware of—the art of bookmaking.  It also features extraordinary Japanese and Japanese-inspired artists who are little known in the U.S.  The multi-layers of expression of this artmaking will enlighten and captivate viewers. Beyond the “literalness” of books—the exhibition’s eclectic blend of artists—all leaders in this art form—stretch the understanding of what a book can be. \nGuest Curators: Maki Aizawa\, Simon J. Blattner\, and Barbara Wells. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nOpening Reception:\nSaturday\, January 25\, 5-7 PM \n\nRegister URL:https://amu-arts.org/event/book-becoming-art-exhibition-at-svma/ LOCATION:Sonoma Valley Museum of Art\, 551 Broadway\, Sonoma\, CA\, 95476\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Arts,Book Becoming Art ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amu-arts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/YOHEI_NISHIMURA_1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250115T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250305T170000 DTSTAMP:20260512T140748 CREATED:20241124T151016Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241224T175255Z UID:2402-1736931600-1741194000@amu-arts.org SUMMARY:Residency Program “Book Becoming Mushroom // キノコになった本” DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that we will host Hiroko Fukumoto from Kyoto\, Japan in Sonoma County and the San Francisco Bay Area along with an exhibition\, Book Becoming Art 「芸術になった本」 from January 18 ~ April 27\, 2025 at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art.   \nOur residency program offers Hiroko Fukumoto’s “Book Becoming Mushroom” workshops to create her live mushroom books.  URL:https://amu-arts.org/event/book-becoming-mushroom/ CATEGORIES:Book Arts,Book Becoming Art ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amu-arts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_2018-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240711T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240714T200000 DTSTAMP:20260512T140748 CREATED:20240525T130606Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240525T134350Z UID:2357-1720688400-1720987200@amu-arts.org SUMMARY:International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe 7/11/24~7/14/24 DESCRIPTION:We will be presenting our Japanese artists at the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe\, New Mexico from July 11th through July 14th\, 2024.

With an overarching theme of sustainability they will learn how to artfully mend clothing and fiber projects through a technique called Nuitsugi. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThey will also work in the ceramics department\, working with a modern version of Kintsugi\, where broken ceramics are put back together using a mixture of gold powder and lacquer. Both of these techniques highlight the flaw and turn something broken into something beautiful. They will also learn the process of Yobitsugi\, one of the most artistic Kintsugi techniques. “Yobi” means to call and “tsugi” means to connect. Rather than only using pieces from the original ceramic object\, Yobitsugi incorporates “foreign” pieces from other objects to mend the broken ceramic item. There will also be culinary lessons on Japanese food\, specifically lessons on making sushi\, ramen & gyoza\, and udon making. The campers will also learn mochitsuki pounding in the camp and make authentic mochi! \nSign up directly from the Sonoma Community Center link.

It is also often used in the home to welcome the New Year. \n\n \n\nFor the Pomo and Miwok tribes\, tule is often used in the ceremonial head pieces and dance costumes. It is also used in making houses\, clothing\, mats\, baskets\, and tools. Rimiko has been working with tule since 2004\, honoring the Native American tradition of making baskets\, boats\, “Kotcha” (house) and\, rope. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nRimiko has created a workshop especially for us showcasing her step-by-step method using the unique characteristics of tule.  When tule is dry\, it is fragile but when it is wet\, it feels similar to leather. While traditional Shimenawa rice straw weaving requires quite a bit of skill\, we are able to utilize tule and its properties easily to create our own “Shimenawa” piece. \nThe workshop is 2.5 hours and will be conducted at the courtyard of Rintaro. The cost is $175. The materials\, hand-picked by Rimiko in California\, are included. \n\n\nPlease sign up by emailing info@amu-arts.org or use the form below. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.New Year’s “Shimenawa” Workshop Quantity*\n \n \n Price:\n $175.00\n \n \n Quantity \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n PhoneTotal\n $0.00\n \n Credit Card\n \n Cardholder Name\n \n \n Card Details\n \n This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google\n Privacy Policy and\n Terms of Service apply.

Rather than only using pieces from the original ceramic object\, Yobitsugi incorporates “foreign” pieces from other objects to mend the broken ceramic item. \nIn our May and June online Kintsugi session\, we will practice “Yobitsugi” by bringing different elements together and creating something new from broken ceramics. There are 8 Yobitsugi sets available. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \nThe one-hour private lesson on zoom is with the artist\, Tomomi Kamoshita\, based in Tokyo\, and facilitator\, Maki Aizawa in Sonoma\, California. We will work on “Yobitsugi” with a set selected and prepared by Tomomi in Japan. \nThe collection of dishes and cups are from the Edo Period to the Showa Period. As is the nature of antique pieces\, each plate is unique and different. We have 8 “Yobitsugi” sets available and we will only have one participant in a lesson with Tomomi and Maki. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \nAn individual online class costs $150 and the material for a Modern Kintsugi kit and the “Yobitsugi” set is $125. The shipping and handling are $20. Please note that there will be additional shipping and handling fee for the participants outside of the US. \nTo register a class\, please email us at info@amu-arts.org. \nPlease visit our Kintsugi Project. \n  \n       Schedule for May and June: \n\nMay 28 on Saturday at 5pm(M.V.K. MS\, USA)\, 6pm(E. L. Korea) and 7pm(W.W. Singapore) (PST)\nMay 31 on Tuesday at 6pm (J. B. LA)\,and 7pm (T.Y. CA)\nJune 4 on Saturday at 5pm(S.W. Hong Kong)\, 6pm and 7pm (PST)\n\n  \nNotes : \n“Modern Kintsugi” with Tomomi Kamoshita is a modern version of kintsugi that utilizes resin-based urushi and brass powder instead of natural resin and gold powder\, which can sometimes cause an allergic reaction. \nPlease note that the repaired piece will take at least 24 hours to be used. High temperature food or drinks are not recommended with the repaired piece for a long time. \n  \n  URL:https://amu-arts.org/event/yobitsugi-kintsugi-online-workshop/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Kintsugi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amu-arts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/kin_web4.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220507T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220507T123000 DTSTAMP:20260512T140748 CREATED:20220320T182738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220421T174305Z UID:1555-1651919400-1651926600@amu-arts.org SUMMARY:“Kago” Weaving Workshop DESCRIPTION:We are hosting a “Kago” basket weaving workshop at Rintaro in San Francisco with the artist Rimiko Berreman Berreman and the facilitator\, Maki Aizawa. \nEarly this year\, we presented a “Shimenawa” workshop using tule.
