水と山 (Water and Mountain)

I wanted the exhibition at Moshimo in Hayama to feel connected to the local landscape.  水と山 (water and mountain) is not just about the landscape but the juxtaposition of the fluid nature of water and the unmoving nature of the mountain.  It was kismet that the opening collaboration with Nippon Viajero fell on Mountain Day.  Together we created an all-sensory experience with sustainable modern Mexican cuisine inspired by four featured art pieces.  Guests had the opportunity to hear the meaning and process behind the featured work followed by a tasting of creative cuisine from Nippon Viajero. Here are those featured works.
