Watching movies...

Yesterday Ayomi and I had the opportunity to preview parts of a film that will augment our concurrent exhibit of modern (20th century) Japanese prints. The film, from the late 1950s, contains footage of Ayomi’s parents working together on a large print.
In that moment, the connection of Yedoensis to the past became quite palpable, and simultaneously its originality and inventiveness - and relevance to its own time and place.
