SUMMARY:Minoru Oikawa solo exhibition \"YAOYOROZU MIX\"
DESCRIPTION:Minoru Oikawa solo exhibition \"YAOYOROZU MIX\" @ Ouchi Ga
 llery\n\nOpening Reception: July 27th (Tue) 7-10pm\nExhibition: July 2
 8 (Wed) - August 1 (Sun) 12-6pm\n\nMinoru Oikawa bio:\n\nBorn in Miyag
 i, Japan in 1972. Majoring in pottery for fine art, received MA degree
  from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and music.\n\nYaoyorozu:\
 n\nI believe humans of today and of ancient times gain from the natura
 l benifits of nature, struggle to coexist with it. Do you agree? Japan
 ese people believe that all natural and living things have a god in th
 em, such as - rivergod, mountaingod, plantgod,animalgods, rockgod,rain
 god,wind and firegod. The name of this belief is called \"Yaoyorozu no
  Kami\". This way of thinking has been around for hundreds of years. Y
 aoyorozu no Kami was practiced before Buddhism left Asia and was intro
 duced to the rest of the world. Yaoyorozu is something that is feared 
 and respected for what it gives and takes away. Have you ever thought 
 about this belief in your life? Pottery is made by natural supplies, s
 uch as - fire, soil, stones, and ash. These are all natural benifits o
 f nature. In Japan we have many events that we celebrate to express gr
 atitude for these natural objects. As my work are made by natural obje
 cts. I believe that all things I make have their own life in them, the
 y are not God or Buddha. I make my work toy like in a way that allows 
 one to touch and feel so that the distance between the person and my w
 ork is shortened.\n\nOUCHI GALLERY\nAddress: 170 Tillary Street, Suite
