Koichi Sato
The Japan Design Committee is hosting an exhibition entitled "Haiku-Graphic Artist Koichi Sato", introducing "haiku-graphic" work by graphic designer Koichi Sato.
Since ancient times, "kakejiku (hanging scrolls)" have been loved by many people as important work of art within traditional Japanese culture. In the Asuka Period, along with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, kakejiku were much-prized in the domain of Buddhist art as objects to be hung and admired. During the Muromachi Period, with the blossoming of "chano-yu (tea ceremony)", ink-painted kakejiku were often displayed in "tokono-ma (little alcove)", while in the Edo Period, they went through remarkable changes, incorporating beautiful textile such as nishijin brocade for part of their cover decorations. After the war, however, the daily use of kakejiku became less frequent due to considerable lifestyle changes.
At such times, this exhibition proposes a new type of kakejiku designed by Koichi Sato where his haiku and graphic art are combined with ingenuity, while also introducing a new way to incorporate them in our modern daily living.
