This workshop is a collaboration project with artists and pastry chefs active in various fields. This time, to commemorate the exhibition “Picasso Ceramics – ‘The Art of Mitate'” currently being held at Yokumoku Museum, we will be holding a special project “Picasso de Art” in collaboration with the Japanese culture “bonsai” on December 8, 2024. It will be held on Sunday. This exhibition interprets Picasso’s experiments in repurposing forms through his sculptures and ceramic works from the perspective of “mitate” in Japanese culture. By linking the humorous metaphor of “mitate,” which combines traditional pots to represent birds and circular plates to represent bullrings and faces, we will uncover the creative process of Picasso’s ceramic works in the postwar period. The program begins with a tour of the exhibition with Kanako Obata, the chief curator of education. While viewing, you will experience the world of Picasso’s “mitate” in ceramics. Next, you will create a “bonsai” with your own hands, which is a part of “mitate” in Japanese culture. The bonsai instructor is Mr. Kenta Hirota of Fujijuen in Omiya Bonsai Village. As a young bonsai master, Mr. Hirota is passing on bonsai culture to the future. This program provides participants with the opportunity to experience Picasso’s “mitate” and express their own “mitate.” The aim is to understand the world of Picasso and bonsai and create new art through viewing and creating works.
