Paseo Unveiling Ceremony

One of four artworks I have been working on in Shigaraki since last year has been installed in the shopping mall at the Sapporo JR Station. This artwork is made of terra-cotta, and the accentuated 103 vertical lines represent trees.

The title is “Terminus Forest” and the size is 118″ height x 709″ width. The unveiling ceremony was held on April 29, 2011. I also designed the underground public square and passage walls. All artwork will be completedin October 2011.

The white terra-cotta relief

The huge white terra-cotta relief that Igarashi has been working in Shigaraki is now complete. This artwork will be installed at the ‘kazenobi’ museum which is renovated from a closed elementary school building.

The museum will open to the public in Spring/early Summer, 2011, in Hokkaido, Japan.
