Message from the Fisherman and Artist Exhibition It began with a fisherman’s desire to “preserve the original scenery of Lake Sato” and an artist’s desire to “create a work that can only be created by experiencing the livelihood of Lake Biwa.” This year marks the third time this project has been held, with four artists participating from all over the country, and the exhibition will not only be held at the Shiga Prefectural Museum of Art, but will also include an outdoor exhibition in the region where the work was created. Fishermen and artists have worked together to achieve this goal. We hope that through this project, you will become aware of the fishing, lifestyle, food, scenery, etc. unique to Lake Biwa, which is different from anything you have seen before, and that it will give you a chance to experience a new Shiga. Background Now that the population is decreasing and we are entering the age of social networking sites, it has become possible for anyone to communicate and express themselves. Along with this, information is disappearing and some industries are disappearing. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries are the most important examples. A microcosm of this is Shiga, a prefecture without a sea, and the fishing industry of Lake Biwa. As the population ages, there are very few successors, and the number of fishermen has decreased from 3,000 to around 500, and the fishermen feel a sense of crisis that if things continue as they are, the creatures, food culture, and scenery unique to Shiga will disappear. On the other hand, artists can do artist-in-residence programs all over the country, and while there are many places where they can express themselves, I felt that it would be possible to express the charm of a region in art by creating works that can only be created in that location. is. We hope to provide an opportunity for many people in Japan to become aware of how to protect their current culture and be strongly motivated to explore new lifestyles. Sponsored BIWAKO Artist in Residence Executive Committee It was established in 2023 as a gathering of fishermen and artists who are active in the area around Lake Biwa, and who have already completed a residency and continue to provide a place for everyone to express themselves. What is BIWAKO Artist in Residence and the 2023 exhibition “Fishermen and Artists – Weaving waves and weaving their lives” It was held from December 5th to December 10th, 2023. Artist-in-residence refers to an activity in which an artist stays in a certain location for a certain period of time, creating works and conducting research activities in a different environment than usual. Participants of BIWAKO Artist in Residence will stay with a fisherman in Lake Biwa. The year before last they stayed for one day, but this year their stay was extended to two days and one night because they wanted them to experience the life of a fisherman. This time of year is a time for fishermen to prepare for fishing, and the four artists from all over the country worked on tasks such as repairing nets and washing them, which are things you don’t see often but are essential for fishing. I experienced no work. Unlike a typical fisherman’s experience event, he experienced this kind of behind-the-scenes experience by saying, “All the artists record and express the waves of the boat as it moves forward. This is because the executive committee’s desire is to sew a multifaceted theme and expand it with diversity. The detailed report is Here Please refer to Constituent members Fumiko Takeo Printmaker. Using landscapes and natural objects that he has collected as motifs, he uses the spectroscopy of a copy machine to try to bring out the inner colors of things. In recent years, he has been traveling by boat to Lake Biwa, using fishing equipment as “indicators” to create works that capture the colors of Lake Biwa. BIWAKO Artist in Residence has been running since 2023. Recent exhibitions include 2024 solo exhibition “trace a lake”, 2024 “Japan-Korea Art Communication 9 Near and far, far and near | Kakkapko Morda, Morgo Kakkapuda” 2022 Fishermen and Artists – Asking about Lake Biwa, reading about Lake Biwa – Yu Matsumoto MATSUMOTO Haruka Printmaker, artist.

Eri Nakanishi Shiori Shimomura Toko Yoshida What is HOURAI Marche? HOURAI Marche is a marche that has been held on the first Sunday of every month since 2020 with the concept of “Something might happen, someone might be there. It’s just that, but there are places where you can feel that way.” The aim is to be a place that is open to everyone, including the area surrounding Hourai House, which will be the venue, in the daily lives of people, and is open to people who live in the area not only on the day of the HOURAI March but also on other days. I continue to do so with the hope that it will be a place where people can feel like something might be happening or someone might be there in their daily lives. By meeting each other on Marche Day, we aim to increase the number of familiar faces both inside and outside the area, and that these
“people-to-people connections” naturally become a warm “harmony” that surrounds each person. [Inquiries regarding the event]
