Takuji Ando

Born in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, this artist began their career while still in university. In 2010, they moved to Paris and began creating works of art, curating exhibitions, and even managing sales all within the context of their solo exhibitions. They also continued their musical activities in galleries and museums. After returning to Japan in 2015, they wanted to pursue art activities in connection with nature, and so they renovated their grandparents’ old traditional Japanese house and moved there with their family. While exploring a sustainable lifestyle, they drew inspiration from nature and have since been engaged in art activities both domestically and internationally.

Statement
東風
馬の耳に念仏という言葉がある。
ありがたい念仏も聞く耳のない馬には無意味だという意味だが、出典となったのは、李白の「馬耳東風」という言葉で、東風(春風)が吹いても首を横に振るばかりの馬を、高尚な思想の理解できない大衆に例えた皮肉である。だが春風を感じない馬など存在するのだろうか? 動物の勘は鋭く、自然の微かな変化も決して見逃すことはなく、自然の節理と共にあるからだ。 現代の春風は、花粉や、黄砂、放射性物質、ウイルスを伴いやってくる。 東風はますます強く吹き付け、いつの日か私たちを射るかもしれない。
はたして馬も聞かない念仏に真の価値があると言い切れるのだろうか? 東風に晒されるのは李白であり、私たちでもあるのだ。

East Wind
There is a saying in Japanese which goes, “Nenbutsu to a horse’s ear.” It means that even if you recite sacred Buddhist chants, they are meaningless to a horse that cannot hear them. This phrase originated from a line in a poem by the Chinese poet Li Bai, which compares a horse that does not react to the spring breeze (or “dongfeng” in Chinese) to the unenlightened masses who cannot appreciate profound thoughts. However, is there truly a horse that cannot feel the spring breeze? Animals possess acute senses and never miss the slightest changes in nature, living in harmony with its rhythms. In modern times, the spring breeze comes with pollen, yellow sand, radioactive materials, and viruses. The east wind blows stronger than ever, and one day, it may strike us. Can we really claim that reciting Buddhist chants to a horse that cannot hear them has any true value? Li Bai was exposed to the east wind, just like we are.
