Salon mimi


The ancient origin of ceremonies between seasons is believed to bring the world of the living and dead closer together. These particular times of transition are being differentiated from the everyday with rituals. Celebrating recurring events of the year with particular foods is a very important part of Japanese tradition.

Reiko Kanazawa creates each year four experimental dinner events as art: during 'equinox' (spring and autumn), and 'bon' a Japanese custom after summer solstice, as well as 'New Year'. Through these special occasions we have the opportunity to gain awareness of the corporeal and ephemeral nature of our physical presence as well as the seasons.
