Sunwalks: A Sanpo Cyanotype Archive

Workshops by Mariam Tovmasian, a participating artist in the biennale. Step away from Tokyo’s fast rhythm and explore a cyanotype workshop that captures the city’s traces and the chance moments discovered while walking. Starting from a meeting point, we will take a slow walk through the area, collecting objects that seem meaningful along the way, and then create original prints under the sun! Cyanotype is an early photographic technique that uses sunlight and water to produce vivid blue images. Participants will learn how the shapes of various objects leave their traces on paper through light and time. By walking, noticing, and imprinting with sunlight, you will capture Tokyo’s fast-paced landscape while experiencing the slower rhythms hidden within it. Meeting and Dismissal Points Meeting point: Hamacho Park, in front of Exit A2, Hamacho Station (Toei Shinjuku Line) Dismissal point: Etoile Kaito Living Building, 1-15-15 Higashi-Kanda, Chiyoda-ku (near Bakurocho Station, JR Sobu Line) What to bring 3–5 small objects that you associate with Tokyo or that remind you of the city An apron * Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. * Each participant may take their prints home as a memory, but we kindly ask you to contribute one piece to be included in the artist’s exhibition.

Workshop

Let’s make a horse-head cane!

Workshops by Eiji Watanabe, a participating artist in the biennale. Creating a Special Walking Stick to Enrich Your Daily Strolls Participants will craft a unique walking stick by attaching a ceramic horse head to the tip of a bamboo staff. Walking with your own hand-painted horse will give you the feeling of being guided one step further into the future. Workshop Process Using special ceramic markers, participants freely decorate a pre-prepared white porcelain horse head. After painting, the horse head is baked in a household toaster oven for about 15 minutes to set the colors The finished horse head is then attached to the tip of the bamboo staff, and reins are fixed to serve as the handle—completing the walking stick. With your completed staff in hand, your daily walks will become an even richer and more delightful experience.

Percussions in the City

Workshops by Gaku Kurokawa, a participating artist in the biennale. This workshop involves participants making their own small wooden mallets and then heading out into the city to make sounds. As you walk around the city, you gently touch things that catch our eye with your mallets and listen carefully to the sounds you make. Let’s enjoy together the fun, mystery, and joy of touching things we encounter in the city with the tools we have made ourselves and listening to the sounds that result. The creation of the wooden mallets will involve only simple tasks, requiring no specialized knowledge or experience. After making the wooden mallets, we will walk with Mr. Kurokawa and listen to the sounds around us. The mallets you create can be taken home with you.

Upcoming 11/23/2025 - 11/24/2025 / Etoile Kaito Living Bldg.
