We present an unusual form of modern Japanese art. Iori Tomita presents his collection of preserved transparent specimens under the title "New World Transparent Specimens."
Modern Japanese art by Iori Tomita
Iori Tomita worked as a fisherman. During this period, he developed a method for preparing and coloring animals as transparent specimens. The technique used in his collection "New World Transparent Specimens" lets viewers rediscover aquatic animals: their shapes, colors, and bone structures become easier to see through the process. The animals look familiar, yet they also have a futuristic appearance. The artist’s purpose was to show people the wonders of the world. These prepared animals are perceived as modern Japanese art and have been exhibited in galleries in Japan.
Modern Japanese Art for the future
Iori Tomita presents modern Japanese art that can also be used as decoration for the home. He sees prepared animals – fish, lizards, and jellyfish – as a means of research. Their bold colors and bones attract attention and project the idea of a new world and a new perspective for the future. The designer expresses his imagination about evolution. Will there be transparent animals in the future? How will the relationship between humanity and changing nature develop? These are questions the artist poses. The idea is certainly creative; whether you can imagine this form of art as decoration is a matter of taste. In Japan, prepared specimens are popular in many contexts.
