Ohta Family Residence, New Warehouse Nakamura Kichihei, who moved from Osaka to Tomo in 1655, started to manufacture and sell "Jurokujihoki Hommei-shu", a Chinese herbal medicine liquor, in 1659. The "TOMONOURA de ART" event, an exhibition of historical buildings and contemporary art, is being held in the entire town of Tomonoura.
They continue to create landscapes that seem to exist somewhere else, mainly using scrap materials such as cardboard.
Although their directions of creation are completely different, they share the same passion for creating interesting things.
As the "Hommei liquor store" (the former Nakamura family), they monopolized the brewing and sales rights during the Edo period and prospered. It was the economic center of Tomo.
The Oda family residence (the former Hommei liquor store) was the temporary resting place for Sanemi Sanjo and seven other noblemen of the expulsion of the King and the expulsion of the barbarians when they dropped in at Tomo after the political upheaval at the end of the Edo period.
The exhibition will be held at the "Tomonoura de ART" event.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.
