In this 3 minute excerpt edit of EMAKI we see performance artist Meri Otoshi in her gesture-dance inspired by the movement of birds. Traditional Maori instruments from Aotearoa New Zealand combined with digitised Taiko drumming creates an acoustic bridge between Asian and Pacific cultures.

In the array of beliefs that Japanese culture has developed to express ways of relating to nature, one that is especially useful is that of the deeply personal ‘perception of things’, which is the driving force that defines Japanese culture through the relationship with nature, a force nourished and enriched through being actively exercised. It refers to a concept in the national aesthetic, the mono no aware.

Acknowledgements to Creative New Zealand's Asia Artform Exchange Fund, and our Japanese friends.
