EXHIBITION FOCUS: SAN

KIMONO! THE ARTISTRY OF ITCHIKU KUBOTA

San, a signature artwork in the exhibition Kimono!

The Artistry of Itchiku Kubota, had special personal relevance for Kubota (Japanese, 1917- 2003). In 1944, he was drafted into the Japanese army and sent to the northern front in Manchuria (Northeastern China).

Near the close of World War II, he and other members of his regiment were captured and interned in a Siberian prisoner-of-war camp. For three years he endured the depressing drudgery of work in the camp, but eventually found that the brilliance of the Siberian sunsets offered him some comfort. Kubota wrote that he would “ gaze out across the great Siberian plains and think of my family and friends as I watched the sun set. Its lingering rays were all the hope I had during those dreary days.” The sun’s beauty, he said, filled him with “a wordless emotion comprising grief, sorrow, solemnity, love, and much more.” The memories of the Siberian sunsets became an important theme in Kubota’s work. This is embodied clearest in San’s vivid design.

The radiance of sunlight is also embodied in Ohn/RedFuji at Dawn. At times, when the sun begins to rise and its rays reach Mount Fuji, the face of the mountain appears to be draped with a magnificent crimson veil. Kubota said he saw a red Fuji at dawn only once during his lifetime. It left him with the unforgettable image that he captured on Ohn, which glows with the early morning sun’s fire. Several areas of fabric have dense stitching with red, gold, and white silk thread to give additional depth and texture to the design.

Each of Kubota’s kimono could take up a year to create and embodies Kubota’s reverence for nature and his passion for capturing the transcendent quality of light and color in thread and dyes. Visit the exhibition and experience how Kubota transformed the traditional Japanese garment form into artworks that present imaginative vistas and contemplative experiences.

Kimono! is on view only through September 16.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR OF KIMONO! THE ARTISTRY OF ITCHIKU KUBOTA WITH PRESIDENT AND CEO ANNA D’AMBROSIO

Tuesday, August 14, 5:30 p.m. $10 MWPAI members; $25 general public Tickets: 315-797-0055 In this exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour, MWPAI President Anna D’Ambrosio shares highlights of the planning and installation of the exhibition Kimono! The Artistry of Itchiku Kubota. Participants have the rare opportunity to examine the kimono closely and touch select fabric samples.

CURATOR GALLERY TALK SERIES PERFORMANCE AND PRESENTATION: ITCHIKU KUBOTA AND THE THEATRE Wednesday, August 22, Noon Dr. Jacqueline M. Atkins, Ph.D., Guest Curator $8 MWPAI members; $22 general public includes exhibition admission Tickets: 315-797-0055 Itchiku Kubota is considered one of the most important Japanese kimono artists of the 20th-century. His stunning kimono reflect the creative vision and burning passion he had for his work, and it is not surprising that the theatre drew his interest. Kubota had a strong theatrical sense, and the gorgeous, oversized kimono he produced were ideal garments for the stage. Dr. Jacqueline M. Atkins will demonstrate how Kubota’s youthful love for the theatre laid the groundwork for his later participation in Noh theatre as well as his own stage presentations, both of which used Kubota’s dramatic kimono to enhance the theatrical effects.

Friday, August 3, Noon and 5:45 p.m. (during First Friday Happy Hour) April Vollmer, New York artist, printmaker, and author, specializing in Japanese woodcut Free and open to the public Mokuhanga simply means “woodcut print” in Japanese. Ukiyo-e, “pictures of the floating world,” are prints, paintings, books and other images from the Edo period (1603-1868), during which popular prints were created by a group of specialists—artists, carvers, and April Vollmer printers—whose work was coordinated by a publisher. A few remaining shops still function this way today, and individual artists have begun to use this technique for contemporary expression in Japan and internationally. Traditional Japanese woodcut employs water-based colors, a hand-held disk baren, and the accurate kento registration system, cut directly into the block. Vollmer will demonstrate how the carving and printing tools are used and how multiple colors are printed.

EAST MEETS WEST: RAKU CERAMICS DEMONSTRATION THROWING A CHAWAN (TEA BOWL) Saturday, August 4, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
