Kaoru Endo dodges the crackdown on the idea and throws a non -standard change ball

"SHISEIDO ART EGG" introduces a bossed writer.Kaoru Endo decorates the end of the three continuing exhibitions.Endo, who studied crafts at the art university in Okinawa, worked as a craftsman, but also as a contemporary artist, DJ, has continued his expression by knitting a thread of activities that spread out in many directions.。

What kind of action is it for her, who is currently based in Vietnam, continuing to produce cloths related to cloth?She was in a solo exhibition, and she heard the story when she returned to Japan temporarily.

Endo: I have a strong desire to try anything.If you want to join the student council, want to be a cheering team, or want to study abroad."I can't do it, but I'll do my best!"But it's no good because I'm really late (bitter smile).

As his natural curiosity goes, Kaoru Endo goes far away from Osaka, where he was born and raised, and entered Okinawa's University of Arts, and is currently working on a cloth based in Hanoi, Vietnam.The process up to that point is even more diverse.

Born in a three -generation calligrapher's house, he won the Osaka Prefectural Governor's Award for a non -standard work written for "writing straight, strange?"He claimed to be "DJ Hello", and invented the creators who met during school days and the event "Techno Udon" that stepped on the udon while listening to techno, and organized it.At first glance, Endo has continued to express, with a faint rebellious spirit, with a simple "why?"

In this "SHISEIDO ART EGG", I would like to follow the roots through an interview with her to announce the works related to Okinawa and cloth.

Endo: I've always wanted to go to Okinawa since I was in elementary school.I was a documentary for Ryukyu -glass craftsmen on TV.The plastic bubbles that use US military cola bottles as materials are inevitably contain air bubbles, but they use thighs and fish bones to make use of their drawbacks.I was shocked by the spirit of Okinawan crafts, which tried to make the bad places forced.Since then, I have come to think, "I'm definitely going to Okinawa!"

-It's amazing to be attracted to your spirituality in elementary school.

Endo: Due to the fact that my parents were a calligrapher, I rated my daily life tools created by an unknown craftsman since I was a child.It may be because "beauty is in life") was familiar.I was opposed by my parents, but I happened to be a high school teacher who loved Okinawa, and gave me Taro Okamoto's "Ryukyu Cultural theory -forgotten Japan" (Chuko Bunko), and to the parents.Please persuade me.My feelings are more and more, "I'm going!"So I went on to Okinawa Prefectural University of the Arts Crafts.However, there is no department to learn glass crafts in Geidai (bitter smile).

-How?

Endo: Rather than wanting to learn glasses mostly, I was attracted to the experience of war and the spirit of Okinawan crafts, which would take advantage of US military bases.So I decided to learn all the crafts.
