Forest-Folk Museum Kasuga
Finished

Artists

Tomoko Kawai
Forest-Folk Museum Kasuga opened in 1995 with anthropologist Shinichi Nakazawa as its general supervisor. In his keynote speech "What Revives People" at the symposium "Wild Forest" held in 1999, Nakazawa stated that he wanted to create a museum that would consider the long span of human life, happiness, and thought that the "forest" possesses and that he wanted to create a museum that would "change the way we look at things a little bit when we come here.

The first exhibition in 2023 will feature Berlin-based artist Tomoko Kawai. Kawai's works, created in Germany and Japan about plants and animals, question contemporary people who tend to seek and define the meaning and value of what they see, asking "what is real," "what is nature," and "what is something we recognize.”
