Activity Based	Saitama
City / Place stayed	Tokyo
Period	2024.5 - 2024.7

Purpose of the residency

I am planning a large-scale painting project focusing on Japan's postwar history and conducting research for it. I aim to chronicle artistic activities, considering the changes in Japan's economic situation from the postwar period to today and the lives of people in Tokyo. I plan to include the history of Japanese film, which has depicted the lives of people closely connected with the social situation, as a reference, taking a different perspective from fine art. With an international residency environment and the theme of 'Beyond Divisions' at TOKAS, my goal is to explore the structure of a narrative painting that can be shared with people from different cultural backgrounds, rather than evoking nostalgic memories of specific regions.

Plan during the residency

• Planning a large-scale painting focused on Japan's postwar history
  
• Research reference sources and collect visual materials from museums and libraries
  
• Create a chronological table about postwar art history around Tokyo based on my research
  
• Including film history as a subject of my research
• Pursue creating a structure of a narrative painting which could be shared the story with people from different backgrounds
