Ichi-go ichi-e expresses the cultural concept of "treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment," which is exactly what this temporal evening of Japanese creativity aims to do. Renowned pottery artist Shozo Michikawa will share his unique, sculptural process of wheel-thrown vase-making, both in a demonstration and a conversation with Dr. Jeannie Kenmotsu, Ph.D., the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art at the Portland Art Museum. Accompanied by traditional Japanese music played by local duo Takohachi Collab Project, ikebana teacher Nana Goto Bellerud will then create an original flower arrangement for display in Michikawa's vase.
