Hiro Odaira, architect and artist and founder of Precious Pieces, gave an evening talk at TAMA Gallery on September 9, 2009, on The Art of Washi in the Modern World. A tea room with glass-enclosed washi panels and shades was constructed by the artist in TAMA Gallery to show the breath of original designs he has developed using the traditional art of Japanese papermaking—washi—with cutting edge technology. One of the large pieces he has produced, titled Fujin-Raijin, a 10 ft x 6 ft wall hanging with gold and silver leaf, hangs on the main floor of the gallery. Over 50 guests came to hear the artist’s talk and enjoy the hors d’ouvres and drinks. Coming up: Opening reception and book launch of the exhibition New York Fresco Pop: Photographs by Marc Kaczmarek, on October 1, 2009. There will be a poetry reading by Max Blagg in conjunction with the exhibition on October 13.
