[Title of work] ⑩ Time of the earth TORU YOKOYAMA Born in Shiga prefecture 1954- ​[About the work] This work works on the theme of light and time. If you go to the quarry, you can meet the huge rock surface cut out by dynamite. The rocks that have been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years are exposed to the sun by human hands, which is a nuisance to the stones. ​ This time, it is composed of cracked stone skin and artificially modified parts, but I wonder what kind of facial expression will change in the flow of the day and the seasons. I'm looking forward to myself. [Production] '92 Yonago Sculpture Symposium ​ [Session] July 19 -August 27 , 1992 [Participating in the '92 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] I think of the Yonago Sculpture Symposium In my memory, the sculpture symposium began to be held in various places after the first symposium in Manazuru in Japan. Especially recently, it has been taken up in local cities as part of "City planning with sculpture". I think the attraction is that the theme of the Yonago Sculpture Symposium is "encounter contact", and strangers beyond their position can talk about art through their works. However, there are many issues. It includes problems that cannot be solved by a single artist, such as the environment in which it is installed, financial problems, the understanding of citizens' works of art, and maintenance of works. The Yonago Sculpture Symposium takes a private-sector-led format, which is one of the few in Japan, and we hope for dynamic development, including cooperation with the government, in exploring the future direction of the historically young symposium. .. Finally, the installation of my work was done in the rain, which was a lie in the heat of the past. It is the most tense moment as a writer whether the hard work of 40 days will become a bubble of water. After the installation was completed safely, at the closing ceremony, I wanted to shout "Heaven looks at Yonago" while looking up at the work that stood up in the newly built cultural hall with a clear blue sky. Looking back on the past summer of Yonago, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the people who have taken care of me so far. Return to photo

[Title of work] ② Clouds go HIROSHI IWAMA Born in Toyama prefecture ​ 1956- ​[About the work] When I visited the installation site in March to select stones, I thought that the size of the planning was not enough. You need the size of the content, but you also need the actual size. When I consulted with Chairman Tomomatsu, who accompanied me, he said, "I think so too." Then go straight to Mr. Sanseki, a stone material. Mr. Nagasawa will be the partner. I searched for granite at first, but it didn't come out very well. I think I was looking for something decisive. I met a serpentine there. The stone, which would have come to this area from Greece long ago, was pale and even awesome, coupled with the overall volume. Mr. Nagasawa said to himself, who was spinning around the stone, "If you can make a good work, you can use it." I thought "I did it". Thank you. Carving a stone that has never been carved means finding a different self. It may look the same, but it's a little different. Searching for unknown things beyond what you know in the interaction with the material. How far can you go? It was the beginning of a thrilling and enjoyable time. Summer is coming and the actual production. Because it is a standing shape, I want to stand it up and carve it, but considering time and other restrictions, I lie down and roll it to form a shape. Believing that there is always a shape that cannot be carved upright from the beginning. And when it comes up, I take in what I can take in, break what needs to be repaired, feel a large space, and cut more in order to stand up. I hoped that my breathing and rhythm at the time of production would be transmitted as it is. When the work leaves the author's hands, he walks alone and embarks on a journey of time with his own destiny. It's a work that was born from meeting many warm people while breathing in the air of Yonago and feeling the clouds and mountains, so I hope you can take a breath in the light and wind of the four seasons. ing. [Production] 2006 Yonago Sculpture Symposium ​ [Session] July 15 -August 26 , 2006 [Message from the writer] ​ In the fall, my face, which was tanned in black, is finally returning to its original state, and I miss the symposium. The four members who love work were not injured, had no accidents, did not have to take holidays, and were able to devote themselves to the production, and each of them was able to make their best work by coming to the venue. Thanks to the passion and warm support of many people, volunteers who really improved, Chairman Tomomatsu, the executive committee, and the people involved. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I often heard from senior sculptors and friends who participated in the event that Yonago's symposium was good. I feel that I really understood the meaning of the word when I came by myself. The system for accepting participating artists, which has probably been established over and over again. Volunteers who take turns taking care of us every day regardless of the weather. And the number of people. The members of the executive committee had regular meetings and meetings during the session. The people in charge of the foundation and installation also spared no effort and visited the meetings over and over again. Mr. Onishi, the director of the installation site, and other staff members of the prefecture often came to see us and consulted about various locations. Chairman Tomomatsu came to the venue every day by bicycle on both rainy and hot days. With a stretched posture that doesn't make you feel old at all, I can't say much, but he gives me a humorous and loving word every day. I bought a new straw hat because I was about to get a doctor's stop because I was a little bit sick of it. We apologize for the inconvenience. There were many precious encounters and contacts that I couldn't write. The symposium is at a crossroads, but I believe that the connections between people and the wealth of our hearts that have been cultivated through the ten symposiums will never disappear. Rather, I think it has the fate of propagation. I think the hardships of the executive committee and everyone involved are tough, but I look forward to new developments after the tenth session. Miho Bay, Yumigahama, Nakaumi, and Oyama were beautiful and magnificent. Also, I thought that each name was suitable and beautiful. When it comes to Oyama, the eyes of Yonago people shine brighter. I thought it would be nice if the words of the land that weren't covered were warm. I would like to meet again with Yonago, who loves nature and loves art, culture and people. Return to photo

[Title of work] ㉓ Crust-COCOON.Ⅲ ATSUO OKAMOTO Born in Hiroshima ​ 1951- ​[About the work] I've always been thinking about the sea these days. The spirit is endlessly sucked into the swell of the tide, which contains countless lives and memories of life. I keep thinking of waking up in the warm amniotic fluid of the planet Earth. Recently, the shape of the stone I am trying to make has a strong admiration for the sea, and I continue to want to bring out the life-threatening shell-like shape and the eros accumulated in the crust. It's also my own cocoon. [Production] '98 Yonago Sculpture Symposium ​ [Session] July 18th -August 30th , 1996 [Photo of Yonago Sculpture Symposium] I have just begun to organize the photos that had been piled up in the left corner of the desk for a month and a half. This is a picture I took with Yonago this summer. It's fun to shoot with the camera in one hand, but the post-processing is actually difficult. If I'm serious about shooting and it's the adults who take responsibility until the end, I'll never be a kid. I can't become a professional adult forever because I can easily solve the problem because I am a sculptor. Aside from the digression, I will check the stacked photo bags one by one. Oh, suddenly Mr. Oi laughed and came off the screen. This is a picture of Mr. Motoike's dinner party. The bigger the subject, the bigger the picture. Mr. Hirai stands under the tent with a bowl and a bowl lifted. A wife wearing a yukata stands on the side in the same dress, and the people around her are laughing and clapping their hands. This is called the ultimate rattan phenomenon at the Yonago Sculpture Symposium, but it is actually singing the procession of the saints. Mr. Yamada is similar to Chaplin. No, Andy Warhol, who is actually the same person as Jean-Francois Dumur, is seen by Hanako as a yukata. This is a picture of when I went to Mr. Suzuki's house. Jesse and the author wrap a towel around their heads under the tent and sip spaghetti. They are tall, good guys, innocent, well-eaten, well-worked and promising young assistants. Tomomatsu-san's Bermuda shorts, T-shirt, and baseball cap on the claws are an eternal naughty boy. Mr. Funakoshi is a person like a baseball umpire, and you can understand what he is saying just by looking at the pictures. Mr. Ida is tight and Mr. Adachi is very gentle. Mr. Motoike, who doesn't look like me, Mr. Fujita, who is always serious, Mr. Ima, who doesn't appear on his face when he drinks but is happy to see it in action, and Ida, whose head ratio is emphasized. Mr., Mr. Shy Yanaka, Mr. Iwasaka who is always quiet, Mr. Omori who aims to be a camera adult, everyone is in the picture. If you check it in this way, there are few photographs that are working on the sculpture that should be the main one. I didn't spend a month and a half seriously, and I was absorbed in sculpture during the day, so I didn't even think about taking pictures. This fact faithfully tells how seriously he took his work during the symposium. At the end of the arrangement of the photos, a commemorative photo taken together in front of the installed work came out. Everyone has a nice face and everyone gently inputs to my heart's album. The pile of photos on the left edge of the desk moved to the right edge of the desk and became a mountain again. Return to photo

[Title of work] ⑦ Fossil town NO.3 Masaru Ida (KATSUMI IDA) Born in Tottori prefecture 1956- [About the work] Fossil City NO.3 ... Egg 2 considers personal involvement with the city by incorporating one completed shape like a boat, or a form like the ruins of the city in one universe. I wanted to express a space that would make me feel. Therefore, it seems that this work will have different feelings and perspectives depending on the viewer, and I would like it to be the same as the work. [Production] '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium ​ [Session] July 29-August 31, 1990 [Participating in the '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] Various forms of sculpture symposiums were held nationwide this summer, but there is no other symposium like Yonago that is truly a volunteer spirit of the private sector. At least as far as I know, it seems to be only Yonago. This is, on the one hand, very pure and an ideal form. On the other hand, I think there is also the weakness of being a volunteer. In other words, from the management point of view, the responsibility tends to be ambiguous, and I think that the wrinkles tend to be apt to be given to a specific individual. Every time I saw the people who suffered from those wrinkles struggling while making the work, I, who is from the local area, had to feel very complicated. Also, as a writer, the 35-day production period was a little short, and it seemed to be one of the shortest examples of a current symposium, and it was physically and mentally painful. However, since the beginning of August, there was a person who worked as a helper for the writer, which was a great help. I would like to thank the people who washed their work clothes every day without complaining, the people who prepared the fund-raising activities and equipment, the people who continued to take pictures, and the people who cooperated in various insertions. think. Then, on the final day of the symposium, I was impressed by the fact that the secretary-general was crying in his eyes, probably because of the joy of completing the work. Finally, when each artist went home, I had the people involved in the symposium see me off, and I was deeply moved. Some writers said that they couldn't get out of the car because they were about to tear, but I think they all left Yonago with the same feelings. As the theme of this time, "Encounter Fureai," I am full of gratitude for being able to complete the sculpture through the encounters between volunteers and the artist and the emotional contact. Thank you very much. Return to photo

What is Yonago Sculpture Road? Yonago Sculpture Symposium 19 Years of History and "Yonago, a City with Sculptures" In 1988, the Yonago Sculpture Symposium was held for the first time in the San'in region under the initiative of a private sector, which is rare in Japan. ​ After that, sculptors from Japan and abroad were invited to the Yonago Sculpture Symposium, which was held every other year until 2006. It was a novel event that took more than a month to show the production process. The 36 sculptures produced during this period are installed along the promenade along the Shin-Kamo River for about 3 kilometers from Yonago City Cultural Hall to Minatoyama Park. If you take a walk while looking at and touching each sculpture, you will be in Minatoyama Park in no time. If you turn back the course and walk again, the sculptures show different expressions depending on the viewing angle. The course from Sculpture Road to Yonago Shitamachi along the Kamo River is so beautiful and full of emotion that it has been selected as one of the 500 Beautiful Roads in Japan Walk.

[Title of work] ⑤ Journey of the heart, starry sky BUEMON SUZUKI Born in Chiba prefecture 1949-2014 ​[About the work] When the earth is 150 million kilometers away from the sun, the birth of life is 3.5 billion years ago, the players of the Silk Road, Kenji Miyazawa's view of the universe, etc. I thought. Also, create a sculpture. What is the unstoppable, unstoppable thing that crumbles bring to your heart? Twenty years ago, in front of the parthenon gable sculpture I met at the British Museum in England, I felt like an obsession for eternity in exchange for the life of an ancient man. I felt that if even a piece of the act of creation remains, a human spell will be left behind in something that will be weathered and crumbled, and that it will be a strict business trip to the modern space. [Production] '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium ​ [Session] July 29-August 31, 1990 [Participating in the '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] Impression of Yonago Thank you for inviting us to the Yonago Symposium. It was a week late for my private use, but I had a fulfilling time. I am deeply grateful to all the staff, and now that the session is over, I am reminded, deeply moved, and impressed. Yonago was blessed with good hot water, good environment, and seafood, and I was able to enjoy a lot of fresh fish, seaweed, and sashimi. Both rice and water were really delicious. However, what we must not forget about Yonago this time is the "humanity of the people" that has been nurtured and cultivated in that climate. It's simple, strong, deep and warm. For me, who was busy with the cluttered life of Tokyo, I felt at ease like an oasis. It was a time when my poor heart was embraced in the big foot of Oyama and saved. Also, I was able to work hard on the production comfortably. thank you. Yonago, everyone. Return to photo
