In this episode, we spend the day with Etsuko Ichihara, media artist and self-proclaimed “fantasy director”. Ichihara has worked on various projects combining Japanese tradition to modern technologies to create unique interactive experiences.
Our first stop will be in the Kawashima shopping street, where Ichihara handled art direction for a local festival, curating and showcasing some of her original works, such as her unconventional “Sexual Harassment Interface”.
We will then follow her to the Akasaka Hikawa shrine, where we will hear more about her “Digital Shaman Project”, a project that combines humanoid robots to the mourning process, which was heavily influenced by Buddhism and her personal experience.
Ichihara also takes her inspiration from Japanese traditional folklore; she will tell us more about her “Namahage in Tokyo” project, which unleashes a Japanese traditional creature in the streets of Tokyo.

[@dantescanline]

I really like this artists work, surprised I've never seen or heard about this before. Thanks for all the great documentaries

[@PumpkinHeadLemure]

Also this girl is very cool. She has a great mind for what she's doing.

NEW VIDEO! Absolutely fantastic editing and great content as usual! Thank you!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@instasquid]

Saw her work at ICC in Tokyo and loved it. This is perfect. Thanks, Toco Toco!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thanks for watching!

Ce serait sympa d'avoir une vidéo sur un architecte japonais. Il y a beaucoup d'architectes japonais renommés et les perceptions de l'habitat sont différentes entre l'occident et le Japon. Ça pourrait être très instructif. En tout cas toujours aussi fan de vos vidéos.

[@PumpkinHeadLemure]

Such a beautiful channel. The videos are superbly done.

[@Cortez77fr]

Merci Toco Toco pour la découverte de cette artiste.

Media artist Etsuko Ichihara is alive and well - but she shares her name with a renowned Japanese actress, who unfortunately passed last month.
