Pictures beaten by the wind and rain：Kenta Nakagome（Kodo）

Seitaro Kuroda × Tatsuya Nakamura × Kenta Nakagome
Towards the Live Painting Performance “Flame”

This year’s Earth Celebration welcomes Kuroda Seitaro for the first time in about 27 years. There was a time in the 1980s when Kuroda visited Sado frequently in the 1980s. Apparently at the time, he rented an abandoned school building near Kodo Village and created his own studio there, calling it Gago.

Even today, some murals he painted decades ago remain on some of the walls of the villages. If you can catch a glimpse of these works that have been touched by time and the elements, you will feel the energy of those paintings well up in your heart.
