NOGUCHI II


AKARI SHINES LIKE THE LIGHT OF SUN...THEY SEEM TO OFFER MAGICAL UNFOLDING AWAY FROM THE SPRITUAL WORLD.

SMO© 2012

It was on a trip to gifu, Japan  in 1951 that Noguchi created
his first Akari designs, inspired by the traditional lanterns
illuminating night fishing on the Nagara River. He called 
these works Akari, a Japanese term meaning light as a
illumination, but also impliying weightlessness.
