    I complained..... I wondered what will happen when I become 50 years old at the age of 25 years old now.
    I hate it if I become an ordinary woman and display my hobby in a public hall.
    When I whining about it to the boss of digmeout, Mr.Taniguchi gave me a task to draw a picture dairy everyday.
    He continues,Draw a picture diary everyday and upload the photos of the dairy on Facebook and show it to public.
    Do not loaf on that, because if you draw continuously and keep on doing it for 25 years, it definitely will be your masterpiece.
    I was about to cry, because I was lost in a maze about my life and I did not know what to draw about at that time.
    April 18th, this day became a Memorial Day.
    The day I decided to picture diary everyday.
    Hikari's Memorial Day started from 18th of April,2013.
    Her work gathered sympathies and her fan increased remarkably by the words and the sexy illustration.
    She materialized a collaboration with girl's website also fashion brand one after another.
    It has been almost a year since she started to draw picture dairy everyday.

    2014. 3. 12 Wed. - 2014. 3. 25 Tue.

    Opening reception will hold on 15th/Feb (Sat) 6pm-8pm

    Mari Amita is a photographer known as for shooting well known/famous musicians such as THE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT, Perfume and RIP SLYME.
    She works for the musician's cover of CD's.
    The work she publishes impress fans and also the musicians.
    One day, she shuttered of an Easter lily near by her house 14 years ago and the photo influenced her to start a carrier as a photographer.
    Afterwards, she took photos of flowers with Polaroid camera and photography became part of her life and life work.
    In this time of exhibition, she will come out with series of flowers that she took recent years.
    She never uses cut flowers and artificial lighting and it is her obsession to use natural lightning and wind.
    She shoots the flower's natural movement to express the divine moment.
    In the exhibition, she will display with the exhibits on sale such as artworks of silver gelatin printed art works which taken with Nega and positive film.
    Also, the related products like portfolio, scarfs and i phone case will be on sale.

    [Profile of Mari Amita]
    She was born in Yamaguchi prefecture in 1973.
    She graduated from Senshu University.
    She started a carrier as a model and she met a photographer, Koji Nomura at that time.
    She offered Nomura to study photography from him.In 2001, she became a freelance photographer and shouted famous musicians such as THE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT, CHARA, SOUTHERN ALL STARS, Perfume and Rake.
    She also took a part in taking a fashion magazine and advertising photos.
    There are several books that she involved as a main photographer such as 'LOVE&HATE', a photograph collection of Kaera Kimura 'Cheeky' and 'Thousand Years of God Prayers' by Taichi Saotome.

    When I started to take photographs, I casually took a photo of an Easter lily with a 35mm film camera which I borrowed from my teacher.
    It was a start to begin my carrier as a photographer.
    Since then, I started to shutter flowers as a subject and took photos nearby my house and flowers in a vase.
    I did not show the photography in particular, I just took it when I feel like to, but taking photograph of flowers became my life work spontaneously.
    I debut as a photographer in 2001 and absorbed in photography.
    However, a childbirth became an experience that oneself seemed to be totally reset to overturn the previous five senses.
    When my son was a newborn, I spent most of time at my house to take care even I was not a person who spend time at home all day long.
    I felt like I am detached from the world and I hold uneasiness for the first time.
    But at the same time, I could spend unhurried time to be able to see beautiful shadow and season to shine in the room.
    Now, taking photograph is not a thing only for me, it became something special.
    Therefore, time has been past and changed, a film and photographic paper that I like has stopped producing.
    I realized everything changes with time and I thought I want to face a photograph with a feeling simple once again like when I took the East lily.
    The 'silent flower' began from such thought.In May and June, it is the season when mind gets impatient.
    The fresh green glistens and the flowers begin to bloom all at once.
    I hold my old film camera to pursuit seasonable flowers and visit neighborhood church and places that I used to go when I was a child.
    Occasionally, I drive all day long to take pictures and I find flower blooming in a season and shutter the figure of the beautiful moment which it creates naturally.
    It is now or never to shutter the best moment and I think it is my destiny to take it and that makes my life complete.

  • chiaki kohara “Kakumei Exhibition” -Be the time.-

    2013. 12. 18 Wed. - 2014. 1. 07 Tue.

    The more I check the past, the more uncertain it becomes, and the pure present, which disappears without mercy.
    I started showing my works in exhibitions in 2008, and through my paintings, I have met many people and have been encouraged by many words to move forward in the shimmering and shimmering.
    Dazzling, fragile, and sparkling things. All of it.
    I, chiaki kohara, embracing all of them, want to "wake up Kakumei.
    With the art I create, I want to go to a world "beyond" that even I have never imagined.
    I would like to make it a "kakumei" that takes the people who support me to places they have never seen before, rather than a "kakumei" that I alone create.
    What we will do will be announced at the exhibition.
    Everyone, please lend me your power.
    Let's fly higher and higher together, carrying the "past" that we have encountered and the "future" that is surely beyond our control.
    Now is the time.
    
    chiaki kohara
    Chiaki Kohara, who has been actively participating in art fairs in Japan and abroad, including Art Fair Tokyo, Art Osaka, and Art Taipei in 2013, will hold his first solo exhibition in a year and a half.
    As the title suggests, Chiaki Kohara says, "I want to make kakumei happen with art." He is currently working on his dream project, which is scheduled for completion in the spring of next year.
    This is a unique attempt to show the progress of the project in an exhibition format.
    At the venue, we will be recruiting members who want to "wake up Kakumei with art" together with Chiaki Kohara.
    An exhibition to share never-before-seen excitement and sparkle.
    Chiacchi, I'm thinking of something great!
