Art and Music Event Examines The Cultural Transformation of Modern Japan

J-COLLABO.ORG is pleased to announce an exhibit of
the mixed media pieces of Yuichi Sugai and the video art installations of Miho
Morita. This exhibit entitles, Vigorous Showa, examines and commemorates a
period of rapid growth and evolution in 20th century Japan.In Japanese history the Showa period represents the time of rapid social and economic growth that eventually established Japan as a world super power. 

This period is revered in Japanese history, since it
followed many years of international and domestic upheaval including two world
wars and the use of nuclear weapons that devastated the infrastructure as well
as the spirit of many Japanese people. The period of Showa is often
referred to as "Time of disturbance and turbulence."

Vigorous Showa pays homage to this cherished time in Japanese
history. A time in which the spirit and vitality was restored in the hearts of
Japan’s people.

The exhibit will be framed by music and dance performances on the opening and closing nights. The opening night performance will feature the band Water Brain with a performance by Blue Muse Dance. The closing night performance will feature the band Combat Jazz with Blue Muse Dance.
