This is the first-ever English-language residency program dedicated to the art of Hyogu, with a focus on the mounting techniques of kakejiku (hanging scrolls). The program provides international artists the opportunity to acquire the basic knowledge in Hyogu (the traditional Japanese art of paper mounting), and the foundational techniques to mount kakejiku (hanging scrolls) through lectures, workshops, demonstrations, and actual mounting practices. Artists will learn mounting techniques from the master mounters at SEIKADOU Co., Ltd., a century-old studio based in Osaka, and attend a special lecture by Bunkazaihozon Co., Ltd., one of the few studios in Japan certified to restore National Treasures. Each artists will receive a set of professional mounting tools selected by artisans, as well as an English-language mounting handbook designed exclusively for this program—for use both during and after the residency. Each artist is expected to complete the mounting of two kakejiku artworks during the 4-week program, and to apply the techniques learned in their continued practice.
