Even in a small town like Hazu, there are people who are rich enough to own a gallery inside their company. This very 80's habit of companies buying expensive artworks still exists around here, and today I went to a reception party for an exhibition at INATEC.
The artist is called 渡辺 泰幸Yasuyuki Watanabe, an installation artist. He makes everything out of pottery. He turns everything into instruments. He places them in the forest, in the park, everywhere. Except that today he put them inside the conference hall in an heavy industry factory. Oh well.

It made me think. Most people there were completely lost. The sad thing was that I didn't see anyone from the citizens of Hazu. Art, as we call it, is still something far from where people live. Even the artists like him, who tries to make art together with everyone, is an exclusive asset. That, makes me sad.
But of course I had a lovely dinner at a Tofu-restaurant called 豆蔵"Mamezo", which made me feel so much better. Imagine. There are restaurants only for Tofu. Even the desserts are made of Tofu. Beat that.
