Dalarna, Dubai och Tokyo är coolaste platserna i världen, säger min japanske vän Kurosaki, vilket jag skriver i minsenaste krönika i Dalarnas tidningar . Ska åka till Dalarna på fredag och inviga utställningen Kimono Fushion i Leksands Kulturhus, som Aia Jüdes sammanställt, ursprungligen med hjälp av sin kompanjon Sanna Gebeyehu. Utställningen visades i sin helhet på Östasiatiska och Världskulturmuseet i Göteborg tidigare, och kommer nu i en miniversion till Leksand. Leksand har starka band med Tokyo.
Dalarna, Dubai and Tokyo are the coolest places right now, says my friend from Tokyo, the design guru Teruo Kurosaki. He loves Dalarna and wants for buy a house in Dalarna for his old days. Right now however, he is busy in a project for restoration of the damaged areas in Fukushima, under the name heartquake. I wrote a little piece about the special relations between Japan (Tobetsu – Sweden village) and Leksand in the Dalarna Newspaper this weekend, mentioning Kurosaki-san and his special Dala relations. On Friday I go to Leksand to inaugurate the exhibition Kimono Fushion, based on the traditional kimono in an un-orthodox way, bringing us straight into the subcultures and expressions of contemporary Japanese culture. The exhibition is curated by Aia Jüdes.
