ENUNDO (Circles of Motion) is a collaborative exhibition honoring the legacy of Kyoto-based textile master Akihiko Izukura and expanding his philosophy through contemporary expression.
Co-organized by NYC-based fiber artist Nobuko Tsuruta and Remnant & Co. Japan (Toyoko Motojima, Mika Ichikawa), the exhibition features fiber installations, wearable art, and a short film. At its center is ENUNDO, a meditative documentary by Kazuki Fujimoto that follows the creation of a monumental silk sphere spun by 10,000 silkworms, embodying Izukura's zero-waste principles and deep reverence for nature.
Tsuruta, profoundly influenced by Izukura's vision, incorporates his remaining silk threads and fabrics into her freeform weavings and garments. During the opening reception, performers will wear these one-of-a-kind pieces in an intuitive performance that brings the works to life in space-breathing, moving, and responding to the moment.
Workshops led by Remnant & Co. will offer participants the opportunity to create silk scarves using naturally dyed mawata (hand-pulled silk), inviting a tactile dialogue with the material. Garments made from Izukura's rare textiles will also be available to try on and purchase.
ENUNDO offers a rare chance to encounter silk as a living medium and to experience the timeless spiritual essence of Japanese craft across generations.
