On the other hand, in these artworks we can rediscover the sceneries and the local productions that were popular in the past but are now lost. Some artists also turned their attention to local history and culture and focused their works on this theme. As an example, the work \u201c<em>Sachiko\u2019s Dream<\/em>\u201d by Yoshio Shirakawa transforms the experience of an individual into a memory of a time and represents the society and the system that gave birth to that. Another work titled \u201c<em>Silken Dreams<\/em>\u201d by Miyako Ishiuchi depicts the silk cloths called<em> meisen<\/em>, which represent the nameless women who supported the silk industry of Kiryu, the artist\u2019s hometown, and its modernization.<\/p>\n<p>While experiencing the history reinterpreted and unfold by these artists, will our memories as spectators and the stories that we ended up forgetting revive once again?<\/p>\n<p><strong>__________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>June 14, 2018 \u2013 September 18, 2018<\/strong><br \/><strong>Venue<\/strong> : Arts Maebashi Gallery 1<br \/><strong>Open hours<\/strong> : 11:00-19:00 (entry up to 18:30) <br \/>Closed on Wednesdays.<br \/><strong>Admission<\/strong>:Free<br \/><strong>Organizer<\/strong>: Arts Maebashi<\/p>\n<p>__________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artists<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>ISHIUCHI Miyako\u00a0<br \/>ITO Zon\u00a0<br \/>KAWASUMI Michinosuke<br \/>KODA Chie\u00a0<br \/>KOIZUMI Meiro<br \/>SHIOBARA Tomoko<br \/>SHIRAKAWA Yoshio<br \/>TAKAHASHI Tsuneo<br \/>TAMURA Kiyoo<br \/>NANJO Kazuo<br \/>FUKUDA Tentaro<\/p>\n<p>__________________________________<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" alt=\"Hometown\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/fad87fa86eb669a8d1295573e27888c4.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"341\" \/> \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" alt=\"Sachiko's Dream\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/78772b1011b3078993f8248cab7a613e.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">TAKAHASHI Tsuneo, <em>Hometown<\/em>, 1957 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 SHIRAKAWA Yoshio, <em>Sachiko&#8217;s Dream<\/em>, 2002<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" alt=\"Silken Dreams #50\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsmaebashi.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9089896d0dc3f487543ee859e21dd469.jpg\" width=\"297\" height=\"200\" \/> \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" alt=\"Mt.
