Museo del Bijou di Casalmaggiore 3 4 4 7 5 La vocazione a rapporti internazionali con l’Estremo Oriente, da cui il territorio veneto ha tratto storicamente costruttive influenze, ha origini antiche. Sin dal lontano XIII secolo il veneziano Marco Polo intraprese un lungo viaggio che lo condusse attraverso il Catai sino al Cipango, terra dalla ricca cultura; si diede così inizio ad una proficua relazione tra i due paesi -Italia e Giappone- che lungo i secoli si è sempre più consolidata, rafforzata e ampliata tanto che nel 2016 ricorre l’anniversario del Trattato di amicizia e commercio tra i due. L’Assessorato alla Cultura del Comune di Padova, Settore Cultura, Turismo, Musei e Biblioteche, nel perseguimento dei propri obiettivi ha la promozione delle arti, della cultura e anche della Città, con l’organizzazione di eventi culturali quali mostre di caratura internazionale. Particolarmente consolidata è l’attenzione e la ricerca nell’ambito della gioielleria contemporanea. A motivo di ciò è stata accolta con entusiasmo la richiesta di ospitare nel cinquecentesco Oratorio di San Rocco la mostra itinerante Gioielli Contemporanei. Dialoghi, progettata sotto l’insegna della collaborazione e scambio culturale tra l’AGC (Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo) e la JJDA (Japan Jewellery Designer Association). Con soddisfazione la Città di Padova quindi, dopo le tappe di Tokyo, Kofu, Livorno e Cisano di San Felice del Benaco ospita ora le creazioni di ottanta artisti - quaranta giapponesi membri della JJDA e quaranta italiani membri della AGC - che si sono messi in dialogo, lavorando in coppia e mettendo così a confronto culture, esperienze, tradizioni, conoscenze e filosofie. The desire- even a vocation for international relations with the Orient, from which Venetian territory has historically benefited in so many ways, has ancient origins. Since the far-off 13th century, when the Venetian Marco Polo understook an enormously long journey which led him across Cathay as far as a land of rich culture called Cipango, profitable relationships have developed between Italy and Japan. Over the centuries, this link has become increasingly close, strengthened and amplified, reaching the year 2016 with the anniversary of the Treaty of Friendship and Trade between them. The councillor for Cultural Affairs (Sector of Culture, Tourism, Museums and Libraries of the City of Padova) has been actively following these aims in promoting events in Padova, organising, among other events, also,international exhibitions. Attention and research within the setting of contemporary jewellery are particularly well-established themes, and it was for this reason that the request to set the itinerant exhibition Contemporary Jewellery in the 15th-century Oratory of San Rocco was welcomed enthusiastically. This edition is entitled Dialoghi, planned with the collaboration and cultural exchange expertise between the Italian AGC Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo and the JJDA Japan Jewellery Designer Association. It is thus with pleasure and satisfaction that, after shows in Tokyo, Kofu, Livorno and Cisano di San Felice del Benaco the City of Padova now welcomes the creations of eighty artists. Forty Japanese members of the JJDA and forty Italians from the AGC, have initiated their dialogue, working in pairs and thus able to compare intimately the culture, knowledge, traditions, experience and philosophies of each country. 6 Massimo Bitonci, Il Sindaco / Mayor, City of Padova Matteo Cavatton, L’Assessore alla Cultura / Councillor for Cultural Affairs L a creazione di un’opera d’arte rappresenta un percorso creativo frutto di un’emozione, di riflessione, di un bisogno di dialogare con se stessi, con il pubblico, con il proprio mondo interiore e con quello esterno. Se poi vengono poste in relazione tra loro culture diverse, ciò che ne scaturisce non può essere che interessante e stimolante. È nata così questa mostra dove, attraverso il confronto e il dialogo che scaturiscono dalle opere, il linguaggio e lo stile italiano incontrano il gusto del Paese del Sol Levante: l’Occidente ha quindi l’opportunità di raffrontarsi, attraverso il medium del gioiello d’autore, con l’Oriente in un racconto a più voci che rivela peculiarità e stilemi differenti, sicuramente lontani ma accomunati dalla passione per l’arte, per la gioielleria di ricerca e la contemporaneità. Gli artisti coinvolti hanno lavorato in coppia traendo spunto da elementi peculiari del Paese straniero di cui sono stati chiamati a indagare ambiente, cultura, costume e stilemi. Ne è derivato un dialogo avvincente, di confronto e incontro, che si è reciprocamente arricchito in una collaborazione che ha dato vita ad affascinanti creazioni dove spiccano originalità, design, eleganza, geometrica armonia, capacità tecniche, senso del colore e sapienza nell’utilizzo dei materiali. L’invito al pubblico è quello di visitare la mostra per conoscere e apprezzare i gioielli unici che da questa ricerca sono derivati, opere d’arte particolari che sintetizzano le emozioni e le capacità interpretative degli artisti di fronte alle suggestioni inconsuete che Paesi così lontani inevitabilmente sanno suscitare. Non dimenticando il proverbio giapponese che recita «Cento sentire non valgono un vedere». T he creation of a work of art may be likened to a journey through the artist’s mind: it derives from a feeling, a reflection on something which arouses the artist’s curiosity, or the need to talk to oneself and to the public at large; it is a discourse between one’s interior world and the real world outside. If all these feelings are set in relation to other, different cultures, the result can hardly fail to be interesting and stimulating. It was with these thoughts in mind that this exhibition was organised. Through comparison and dialogue, the Italian language and style encounter those of the Country of the Rising Sun. The West can thus compare itself with that country through the medium of an original, carefully crafted jewel. It can speak to the Orient in a story recounted by several people, revealing differing peculiarities and styles; it is certainly remote, but it is still connected to us by a passion for jewellery which is the result of contemporary research. The artists whose works are presented here worked in pairs, deriving ideas from the special elements of the foreign country they are now studying: its environment, culture, customs and styles. The result is a fascinating dialogue between comparisons and encounters, reciprocally enriched to produce enthralling creations in which originality, design, elegance, geometric harmony, technical abilities, sense of colour and expert use of materials all make their appearance. We invite the public to visit the exhibition to appreciate these unique jewels, the results of a detailed, particular kind of artwork, which combines the artists’ emotions and their capacities for interpretation when they experience this unusual encounter with such distant lands. Let us not forget the Japanese proverb: “Seeing is more than hearing a hundred words”. Mirella Cisotto, Capo Settore Cultura, Turismo, Musei e Biblioteche Head, Sector for Culture, Tourism, Museums and Libraries - City of Padova 7 Sono particolarmente lieto di ospitare presso il nostro Istituto la mostra “Dialoghi” in cui sono esposte le opere realizzate da artisti appartenenti all’AGC Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo e alla JJDA Japanese Jewellery Design Association. Si tratta della prima tappa di un percorso che toccherà varie prestigiose sedi in Giappone e in Italia nel corso di quest’anno 2015 e del prossimo. La mostra nasce dalla scelta di queste due importanti associazioni che hanno deciso, come il titolo della mostra suggerisce, di far “dialogare” tra loro i propri artisti, utilizzando come elemento principale di comunicazione le opere e non le parole. Del resto, quale modo migliore per degli artisti di manifestare i loro pensieri, sentimenti, gusti estetici, che esprimerli attraverso il proprio lavoro? Come è noto, il prossimo anno ricorrerà l’anniversario dei 150 anni di amicizia tra Italia e Giappone. Infatti il primo Trattato di Amicizia e Commercio fra il Regno d’Italia e l’Impero del Giappone fu firmato nel 1866. L’Istituto Italiano di Cultura intende celebrare l’anniversario con diverse iniziative che vedranno rappresentanti dell’arte e della cultura giapponesi e italiane dialogare tra loro. Questa mostra, con la sua enfasi sullo scambio artistico tra i due paesi, rivolta a stimolare la creatività di entrambe le parti e a rafforzarne l’amicizia, anticipa lo spirito delle prossime celebrazioni. Non ho ancora potuto ammirare le opere da vicino, ma nel vedere le foto dei gioielli realizzati da questi designer pieni di talento mi sono reso conto che lo scopo dell’iniziativa è già stato raggiunto. Gli artisti giapponesi e quelli italiani si sono scambiati fra loro dei temi che fossero idee e fonti di ispirazione su cui lavorare. Ognuno quindi si è concentrato sul tema che gli era stato assegnato, libero però di interpretarlo a modo suo. Ho trovato interessante e sorprendente il modo in cui ogni artista ha svolto il proprio tema, usando la sua immaginazione. Il risultato sono dei gioielli in cui la vera gemma è la fantasia, e dove a brillare è soprattutto la gioia dell’invenzione. Chi è abituato a considerare il gioiello come espressione del lusso, questa volta scoprirà in esso una dimensione diversa: il gioiello come un luogo in cui due sensibilità apparentemente straniere l’italiana e la giapponese si incontrano, riconoscendosi diverse ma scoprendosi anche intimamente vicine. Auguro a questa mostra grande successo a Tokyo e nelle tappe che seguiranno. I am especially pleased to be able to welcome the exhibition “Dialoghi” in our Institute. The show will contain works by artists belong to the Italian AGC (Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneao) and the JJDA (Japanese Jewellery Design Association). This is the first step along a course which will reach several prestigious museums in Japan and Italy during 2015 and also next year. The exhibition was chosen by these two important associations, which have decided, as the title of the show indicates, to hold true dialogues with its artists - using their works, not words - as the main element of communication. What better way for artists to express their thoughts, feelings and aesthetic tastes, than by presenting us with their own works? Next year will see the anniversary of 150 years of friendship between Italy and Japan. The first Treaty of Friendship and Trade between the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Japan was signed in 1866. The Italian Institute of Culture wishes to celebrate this anniversary with various initiatives which will represent Japanese and Italian art and culture as dialogues. 8 Igioiello n una costante ricerca e nel solco del rinnovamento nell’ambito del In a constant search, and by following the renewal in the context of contemporaneo, l’Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo AGC contemporary jewelry, the Association of Contemporary Jewellery AGC e JJDA Associazione del Gioiello Giapponese hanno creato un’intesa di sviluppo per un nuovo progetto di relazione e proposta di scambio culturale con la mostra “Dialoghi”. I membri delle due istituzioni si sono posti in un confronto alla pari, al fine di realizzare i gioielli per le esposizioni che si sono tenute nel 2015 in Giappone ed in questo anno 2016 nelle diverse prestigiose sedi museali di Livorno, Cisano di S.Felice/Benaco Fondazione Cominelli, Padova e Casalmaggiore. Ringraziamo il Direttore Giorgio Amitrano, per l’ospitalità data alla mostra “Dialoghi” che si è svolta all’Istituto di Cultura Italiano a Tokyo dando visibilità e voce alle creazioni dei partecipanti e aprendo così lo scambio tra i due Paesi. Ringraziamo tutte le sedi museali in Giappone e in Italia. Ringrazio la Presidente Takako Komiya e tutto il direttivo JJDA per l’organizzazione, ringrazio il Maestro Yutaka Nagai per la costante collaborazione. Da parte anche del Direttivo un ringraziamento al Sindaco di Padova Massimo Bitonci, all’Assessore alla Cultura Matteo Cavatton ed al Capo Settore attività Culturali di Padova Mirella Cisotto Nalon che pone sempre particolare attenzione alla nostra Associazione AGC valorizzando in tal modo i nostri progetti. and JJDA Association of Japanese Jewel, have created an agreement for a new cultural exchange with the exhibition “Dialoghi”. The members of the two institutions are placed in an equal confrontation, in order to realize the jewels exhibited in 2015 in Japan and in this year 2016 in various prestigious Italian museums in Livorno, in Cisano di S. Felice del Benaco at the Cominelli Foundation, in Padua and in Casalmaggiore. I would like to thank you once again Director Giorgio Amitrano, for the hospitality extended to the exhibition “Dialoghi”, which was held at the Institute of Italian Culture in Tokyo in July 2015, giving visibility and voice to the creations of the participants and opening so the exchange between the two countries. Thanks to all the museums in Japan and Italy. I’m grateful to President Takako Komiya and all the board of JJDA for the organization, I’m grateful to Master Yutaka Nagai for his ongoing collaboration. The Agc’s board and I, we want to thank you again Mr Massimo Bitonci Mayor City of Padova, Mr. Matteo Cavatton, Executive Council for Culture at Comune di Padova as well as Mrs. Mirella Cisotto Nalon, Department Head of Cultural Activities at Comune di Padova, who always pays particular attention to our Association Agc thus enhancing our projects. Maria Rosa Franzin, Presidente AGC Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo / Chairperson AGC Q uesto progetto ha avuto inizio nel dicembre 2012, a Tokyo, in This project began in December 2012, in Tokyo, on the occasion of occasione del mio incontro con la Presidente dell’AGC Maria Rosa my meeting with the Chairperson of AGC, Maria Rosa Franzin. We The exhibition, with its emphasis on artistic exchange between the two, aims at stimulating the creativity of both and at strengthening the bonds of friendship, anticipating the spirit of the forthcoming celebrations. I have not yet been able to admire the works personally, but I see from the photographs that these designers are indeed talented. I realise that the aim of the initiative has already been achieved! The artists of both countries have exchanged views on the topics which were the ideas and sources of inspiration on which to work. Each of them concentrated on the topic assigned to them, while being free to interpret it as they wished. I was very interested to see the way in which each of the artists had developed their themes. Those who are accustomed to considering jewellery as an expression of luxury will discover another dimension here: jewellery as a place a locus, even a focus, in which two apparently very different sensitivities Italian and Japanese meet and recognise the fact that, despite their differences, they are intimately connected. I wish this exhibition great success in Tokyo and in the other venues in which it will appear. Franzin. Abbiamo da subito deciso di inaugurare l’iniziativa nel 2015, anno in cui ricorre il 50° anniversario dalla fondazione della JJDA e il 10° dalla fondazione di AGC. La realizzazione di queste mostre è stata possibile grazie alla collaborazione di molti amici e dei membri delle due Associazioni, nonché grazie all’ospitalità del direttore dell’Istituto Italiano di Cultura a Tokyo, Giorgio Amitrano, al Museo dei Gioielli di Yamanashi, alla Residenza Statale Shiinoki nella prefettura di Ishikawa, e ai luoghi dell’esposizione, in Italia, a Livorno al Museo di Storia Naturale del Mediterraneo, alla Fondazione Cominelli di Cisano S.Felice/Benaco a Padova all’Oratorio di San Rocco ed al Museo del Bijou di Casalmaggiore. A tutti loro va il mio sincero ringraziamento. Con l’augurio che JJDA e AGC possano continuare anche in futuro il sodalizio appena inaugurato, contribuendo, attraverso la presentazione dei gioielli contemporanei giapponesi e italiani, anche a un più esteso scambio culturale su scala globale. Infine, vorrei ringraziare di cuore Maria Rosa Franzin, a cui va tutta la mia gratitudine. immediately decided to launch the initiative in 2015, the year which marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the JJDA and the 10th since the founding of AGC. The preparations for these exhibitions were made possible thanks to the collaboration of many friends and members of the two Associations, as well as to the hospitality of Dr. Giorgio Amitrano, Director of the Italian Institute of Culture in Tokyo; the Jewel Museum of Yamanashi, the Residence State Shiinoki in the Prefecture of Ishikawa, and several exhibition venues. In Italy, exhibitions have been held in the Museum of Natural History of the Mediterranean in Livorno, the Cominelli Foundation at Cisano di S. Felice del Benaco, the Oratory of St. Rocco in Padova, and the Bijou Museum of Casalmaggiore. I extend my sincere gratitude to all of them. I sincerely hope that the JJDA and the AGC can continue their partnership long into the future by contributing, through the presentation of Japanese and Italian contemporary jewellery, an even more extensive cultural exchange on a global scale. Lastly, I would like to thank Maria Rosa Franzin, to whom goes all my gratitude. Giorgio Amitrano, Direttore Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Tokyo / Director Italian Institute of Culture, Tokyo Takako Komiya, Presidente JJDA / Chairperson JJDA, Japan Jewellery Designers Association 9 L a Fondazione Raffaele Cominelli è particolarmente orgogliosa di ospitare nel 2016, anno in cui si celebra il 150° anniversario della firma del primo Trattato di Amicizia e Commercio fra il Regno d’Italia e l’Impero del Giappone, questa importante esposizione dedicata al gioiello contemporaneo e allo scambio tra Italia e Giappone. Credo che l’idea di intitolare la mostra “Dialoghi” sia ancor più azzeccata in un momento storico come quello attuale, in cui il confronto appare in grande difficoltà, surclassato e oscurato dalla violenza degli eventi, in una società che appare più avvezza al monologo piuttosto che al dialogo. In quest’ottica, utilizzare la lingua comune dell’arte per confrontarsi e condividere, appare una soluzione di speranza, di cui necessitiamo fortemente. Un ringraziamento a AGC – Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo e JJDA – Japanese Jewellery Design Association per averci coinvolto in questo ambizioso progetto. Con l’auspicio che il dialogo possa andare oltre all’ambito artistico e l’amicizia tra i Paesi possa illuminare il nostro cammino. T he Raffaele Cominelli Foundation is very proud to entertain in 2016, the year in which is celebrated the 150° anniversary of the signature of the first Essay of Friendship and Commerce between the Kingdom of Italy and the empire of Japan, this important exhibition dedicated to the contemporary jewelry and to the exchange between Italy and Japan. I believe that the idea to entitle this exposition “Dialoghi” is even more appropriated in this historical period, in which the comparison appears in great difficulty, outclassed and darkened by the violence of the events, in a society that appears more accustomed to the monologue rather than to the dialogue. In this optic, to use the universal language of art appears as a solution of hope, which is strongly required. Thanks to AGCAssociation Contemporary Jewel and JJDA- Japanese Jewellery Design Association to have involved us in this ambitious project. I wish that the dialogue could go besides art and that friendship among the Countries could illuminate our walk. Michele Cassarino, Presidente Fondazione Raffaele Cominelli / Chairman Raffaele Cominelli Foundation È con grande piacere che nella Sala delle Mostre Temporanee del Museo di Storia Naturale del Mediterraneo ospitiamo la mostra “Dialoghi”, curata e organizzata da AGC Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo e da JJDA Japanese Jewellery Design Association. Ci piace l’idea di dare spazio ad un progetto che lega due realtà apparentemente lontane, la giapponese e l’italiana, attraverso l’arte e il gioiello contemporaneo. Gli autori si confrontano, donando concretezza attraverso le loro opere, in un dialogo, appunto, che supera la barriera di codici linguistici e stilistici. Visitando la mostra viene alla mente una frase di François Pinault, uno dei più grandi collezionisti d’arte contemporanei, che in una recente intervista conferma “credo nella cultura come un fattore di dialogo, di tolleranza e di coesione sociale. L’arte fa saltare le barriere, è una forma di comunicazione universale”. Ed è collegandosi all’idea di comunicazione e di universalità che il museo si fa luogo di accoglienza di questa interessante iniziativa. Seguendo il solco del rinnovamento i musei oggi hanno la necessità di presentarsi a pubblici differenti e, senza tradire la loro natura, farsi luoghi di patrimoni plurali, ove sia possibile dar valore alla vastità degli approcci al sapere. Nel più ampio contesto della crescente priorità alla promozione del dialogo interculturale anche la nostra struttura museale intende esplorare nuovi punti di vista sulle “culture” e puntare sull’educazione al patrimonio in chiave interculturale come componente strategica non solo dell’educazione formale, ma anche dell’apprendimento lungo tutto l’arco della vita. È in questo contesto che la mostra “Dialoghi” trova idonea collocazione in un luminoso spazio espositivo inserito nella verde cornice dell’Orto Botanico del Museo. Un sentito grazie va anche al Garden Club sezione di Livorno e alle splendide composizioni floreali, create appositamente per questa occasione, che sottolineano ancora una volta il dialogo intimo ed universale tra natura e arte. We have great pleasure in announcing that the temporary showrooms of the Museum of Mediterranean Natural History will present “Dialogues”, curated and organised by AGC Associazione Gioiello Contemporanea and JJDA Japanese Jewellery Design Association. We like the idea of providing space for a project which links two realities apparently very distant from each other - Japan and Italy - through art and contemporary jewellery. The artists can compare their works with those of others, can define them, in a real dialogue which overcomes the barriers of linguistic and stylistic codes. Visiting the show, I thought of a sentence by François Pinault, one of the greatest contemporary art collectors. In a recent interview, he stated: “I believe in culture as dialogue, tolerance and social cohesion. Art overcomes barriers, it is a form of universal communication”. And it is by linking ourselves with the concepts of communication and universality that the Museum now welcomes this interesting initiative. Following the by now established idea of renewal, museums today need to present themselves to all kinds of visitors and, without betraying their essential nature, must turn into places for several types of artistic patrimony, where value can be assigned to the vastness of modern approaches to knowledge. Within the wider context of the increasing priority given to promoting intercultural dialogue, our museum too wants to explore new viewpoints on “cultures” and to focus on knowledge of artistic patrimony from an intercultural viewpoint - as a strategic component not only of formal education, but also of learning throughout life. It is in this context that the exhibition “Dialoghi” finds its collocation in a luminous space framed within the greenery of the Botanical Garden of the Museum. Our heartfelt thanks also go to the Livorno section of the Garden Club and the splendid flower compositions, especially created for this occasion, which once again stress the intimate and universal dialogue between Nature and Art. 10 Anna Roselli, Direttrice del Museo di Storia Naturale del Mediterraneo / Director Museum of Mediterranean Natural History 11 Non è un caso se il Comune di Casalmaggiore ha deciso di dedicare al Giappone la prima edizione di Stupor Mundi, un evento che, dal 2016, di anno in anno approfondirà la conoscenza di Paesi diversi coinvolgendo tutte le istituzioni culturali della nostra città in una sorta di festival diffuso. Lo spunto è stato proprio questa mostra, che, proposta al Conservatore Letizia Frigerio dalla presidente di AGC Maria Rosa Franzin, ha immediatamente coinvolto tutti i soggetti interessati nel progetto, entusiasti (io per prima) di veder dialogare le competenze artistiche dei migliori orafi italiani e nipponici sulle più significative icone delle rispettive culture. È pertanto con grande soddisfazione che saluto questi “Dialoghi” ospitati nel nostro Museo del Bijou, ennesimo e determinante appuntamento di una rassegna dedicata al Giappone dopo performances teatrali, mostre, incontri letterari e approfondimenti sui vari aspetti della ricchissima storia e straordinaria cultura del Paese del Sol Levante, iniziative che hanno saputo coinvolgere tutta la cittadinanza e trovare significativi apprezzamenti a tutti i livelli. La mostra è l’occasione per ricordare un primo, indimenticabile incontro con l’arte del Giappone al Museo del Bijou: Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo ha infatti organizzato, nel 2011, presso il nostro laboratorio professionale, il corso del Maestro Yutaka Nagai, esperto di tecniche tradizionali giapponesi, che ha condiviso le sue conoscenze nella lavorazione dei metalli, arte antichissima che, dalla decorazione delle armi e delle armature, da qualche decennio si declina in oreficeria, con la creazione di ornamenti ricchi di sperimentazione ed eclettismo. Il corso, tenacemente voluto dalla socia AGC Patrizia Bonati (che ringrazio anche per tutte le precedenti - e spero future - collaborazioni con il Museo), fu un concentrato di artigianato e tecnica ai massimi livelli, di saggezza e gentilezza, di tradizioni e futuro: un insegnamento di stile e di vita, oltre che di professionalità. Auguro che i Dialoghi Italia-Giappone non finiscano qui: che ci siano ancora occasioni (davvero pregevoli) come questa per approfondire a vicenda storia e culture, per creare e mantenere vivi rapporti ed esperienze personali, per arricchirci dei rispettivi tesori. It was not by chance that the town authorities of Casalmaggiore decided to dedicate the first edition of Stupor Mundi to Japan - an event which, from this year, will enhance our knowledge of other countries by involving all the cultural institutions of our city in a kind of extended festival. Its starting-point is precisely this exhibition, which was proposed to the curator, Letizia Frigerio, by Maria Rosa Franzin, who heads the AGC. All members interested in the project immediately expressed their approval with enthusiasm, heartened to see that the artistic competence of the best Italian and Japanese goldsmiths was going to be applied to the most significant icons of the two cultures. It is therefore with great satisfaction that I welcome this edition of “Dialogues” to our Jewellery Museum, one of the many exhibitions devoted to Japanese art, after theatrical performances, exhibitions, literary meetings and further debates on the various aspects of the extraordinarily rich history and culture of the Land of the Rising Sun. These initiatives have also involved the general public, who greatly appreciated them. The exhibition is an occasion on which to recall the first, unforgettable meeting with the art of Japan at the Musée du Bijou. It was in 2011 that the AGC organised a course at its professional crafts laboratory, taught by the maestro Yutaka Nagai, an expert in traditional Japanese techniques. He shared with us his knowledge of metal-working, a very ancient art form which has its origins in the decorations applied to arms and armour. For several decades now, the maestro has turned his attention to gold-working, with the creation of ornaments clearly showing his great gifts for experimentation and eclecticism. This course, organised with great determination by AGC member Patrizia Bonati (to whom go my thanks for all her previous - and I hope future - collaboration with the Museum) was a concentrated mix of the best artisan and technical craft, combined with wisdom and kindness, both traditional and moving towards the future: a lesson in style and in life, as well as great professionality. I hope that these Italian-Japanese Dialogues will not end here: I hope there will be future occasions like this one - greatly to be augured - to extend our history and culture reciprocally, to stimulate and create pleasant relationships and personal experiences, to enrich our respective treasures. 12 Pamela Carena, L’Assessore alla Cultura del Comune di Casalmaggiore / Councillor for Cultural Affairs, Casalmaggiore 13 OPERE SELEZIONATE 14 15 Mt.
