Art Bridge exhibitions on Shiraishi Island this week! Today I'll introduce you to Mr. Shimizu's work. He has recreated the Seto Inland Sea inside a house. This exhibit focuses on letters written by those who had left Shiraishi Island after WWII to find work on the mainland. The missives talk about their experiences leaving behind family and friends and the island life for one economic opportunity in the big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.
His exhibit, like the others, takes place in an old Japanese house on Shiraishi Island.
Here, he has recreated the Seto Inland Sea inside!
Little boats!
A different perspective
Every child's dream--to sail across the living room...
...in a tiny hand-carved wooden boat!
Come on out to Shiraishi Island in Okayama Prefecture this week to see the art exhibitions up close!
