“Symbiosis: Living Island” Enters Final Weeks at JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, June 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It’s the last chance to view “Symbiosis: Living Island” – which explores the groundbreaking Inujima “Art House Project” – as the JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles exhibition closes July 5.

The Inujima “Art House Project” was designed to revitalize the depopulated Japanese island of Inujima through a unique symbiosis of art, architecture, community, and ecology. Based on the road that encircles Inujima, “Symbiosis: Living Island” allows visitors to “set foot” onto the island and explore the creative projects that have come to form part of Inujima’s landscape. Visitors to the exhibit can experience the island coming to life through an experiential diorama of the island, documentary videos, and testimonies from residents on the project’s transformative impact on their lives.

The work of three artists featured on the island are highlighted within the exhibition – Beatriz Milhazes from Brazil and Haruka Kojin and Yusuke Komuta from Japan – alongside Inujima landscape imagery by renowned photographer Takashi Homma. These wide-ranging works convey a vision of Inujima as a living entity and potential blueprint of symbiotic coexistence for the future.

The closing of “Symbiosis” makes room for the next exhibition coming to JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles this summer, the highly anticipated POKÉMON X KOGEI | Playful Encounters of Pokémon and Japanese Craft.” One of the world’s biggest entertainment franchises and Japanese craft techniques, both contemporary and refined over centuries, come together at this upcoming exhibition. Debuting in the U.S. on July 25 after opening to great acclaim at the National Crafts Museum in Japan earlier this year, the exhibition features over 70 works created by 20 renowned Japanese artists using their skills and ever-evolving techniques in crafts to creatively channel the world of the globally popular Pokémon brand.

Admission to the exhibition is free. Walk-ins are invited and the gallery is open daily from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. (Mon. – Fri.) and 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. (Sat. – Sun.).
