Because of this situation, the locals developed a certain attitude toward production of goods- called “mono-zukuri” spirit, passing along ingenuity while deepening traditional crafts for a few hundred years. The show presents “Nanbu Sakiori”. Sakiori is a woven fabric produced from mixed materials of cotton, worn out cloth and garments that is very durable and it softens with time. https://tohoku-standard.jp/en/ HIDEKI NAKAJIMA Graphic The exhibition features two series “UNFINISHED” (2000) and “Infinite Libraries” (2008).
