The theme of the CONTON_meeting is “symbiosis” and stimulates the imagination through the full use of the senses of touch, hearing, smell, and so on. The exhibition features “Symbiotic Sensory Play Development Project” by Nakanojo Art University at Gundai Bijutsu, the “Mirumiru Tsunagaru Project” by Menoki General Incorporated, which has been working to create symbiotic art environments for people with disabilities, especially those with visual impairments, and JINS Inc, as well as an exhibition of works and workshops by Hiroshi Tago, HAYASHI Koshi, Mitsuo Saiki, Sawako Kanai and others who have been deeply involved in these efforts. In addition, the exhibition will introduce Menoki+JINS’s efforts in the development of karuta connecting with everyone, and will include an exhibition of Jomo karuta as a wooden sculpture by Michiyo Miwa, as well as an opportunity to play karuta using a popularized version of the karuta.
