“Birds Flying Towards Eternity” A drawing from one day. Lines resembling branches and leaves stretch out like the roots of a fan-shaped tree. Suddenly, a bird appears, and as I follow it, new birds appear one after another. The lines, born from the tree of the heart, extend, connect, and become the body of a bird. Something that exists in the invisible world appears in the visible world. To me, every line I draw stretches from this world to the other, perhaps a bridge connecting the worlds.

Performance Event “The Sound of the Flying Birds and the Earth” Tuesday, August 23rd (National Holiday) ◆ Morning Session 11:00-11:30 / Capacity: 30 / ¥3,000 (1 drink bread) Dance: Haruhiko Okuhama Painting: Eisuke Ishihara Trees, where birds rest their wings, are rooted in the earth and connect heaven and earth. Trees are also deeply connected to the world of flamenco, whose main instruments are made from wood. The Spanish phrase “Tocar madera” (touching or tapping on wood) has long been known as a charm to ward off bad luck. This time, flamenco dancer Haruhiko Okuhama will perform on cajon and castanets, alongside paintings by Eisuke Ishihara.

Microorganisms and all kinds of living creatures squirm there. The sounds of water flowing through Yakusugi cedar trees, which Uemura has recorded around the world, and the creaking of melting Antarctic ice floes, are complemented by the vibrantly colored birds flying through the cosmic space created by Kawamura and Sakai. Furthermore, a world is created through the interaction of the dancers and painters in this space. Enjoy this one-night-only story, available only to participants.

Orange Gate Artspace by Kyuryudo This is an online art website operated by Kyuryudo Co., Ltd., which has been publishing art books and selling artworks for nearly 100 years since 1923. The name “ORANGE GATE” was inspired by Kyuryudo’s corporate color, orange, and was chosen based on the image of a tree bearing an abundance of oranges, sharing joy and happiness with those around it. The use of the word “gate” to connect two distinct spaces also expresses our hope that “ORANGE GATE” will serve as a gateway to the world of art. Additionally, the “torii” gate at a shrine is sometimes referred to as “ORANGE GATE” in English. Just as artists reveal invisible worlds to people through their art, this website serves as a gateway to the art world, introducing many artists and their works to you. This website will host online exhibitions by various artists. We strive to deliver art to people all over the world and bring joy and happiness.
