Sanctuary of the sea

November 17th, 2008

This week-end, i dropped by the « Konpira-san sanctuary of the sea » exhibition held in the Guimet Museum of asian arts. A wonderful exhibition that shows for the first time out of Japan many of the main masterpieces of the Konpira-san sanctuary on the Shikoku island, Japan.
« In the sanctuary, the cult of the mountain meets the beliefs relating to the protective divinity of maritime transports, which guards against the dangers of the sea, and became a major devotion centre in the all archipel. »
Among the many artwork exposed, some gorgeous paintings on screens and sliding partitions, and even a beautiful collection of oil paintings of Takahashi Yuichi (wich was quite rare for Japan).

The project, continued

November 11th, 2008

One of the essentials things to launch a new brand, is (ofcourse) finding a brand name, and while we’re in it .. a logo that goes nicely with it. After a week of thinking, and findings (believe me .. it wasn’t at all that simple to find a name that hasn’t been taken by a concurrent, plus we can’t take something that partially resemble to the existing brands).
