The Aomori Museum of Art was established adjacent to the Jomon period historical site, Sannai Maruyama, in order to propagate the culture of the arts of the Northern Tohoku region of Japan. Conceived in the Romance of the Jomon Culture, carrying hopes and dreams, this purely white art museum is now beginning to inscribe a page in history. What does it mean to live a life that enriches the soul? I consider it to be determined on how much “time” was spent being inspired. The inspired “soul” is one of profound meaning and significance. It is my hope that visitors to the museum will spend this “time” at the Aomori Museum of Art in reflection of yourself and what it means to live, through your encounters with fine works of art, music, and drama. I trust that through this introspection, you will cultivate a strength that will overcome any hardship, as well as peace of mind and spirit. To what hue shall our monochromatically white museum, still in its infancy, be dyed? We have an obligation to create a culture of the arts for the young who will lead the next age. We shall engage in this task with sincerity, to see that the young will be able to inherit a museum and her endeavors that have over time attained even more brilliance and glory. We shall never forget the spirit of the museum, “involvement with the public.” With this, as our firmly established belief, we shall continue our performance of “time” that shall never fade. |
