Artist Bio:
Arisa Itami
Arisa Itami spreads love to the world through music and art. Arisa is a Japanese artist
who works mainly in Brooklyn NY. In 2008, she visited the village of Ikot Usen, Nigeria
with "Paths of Native Africa" crew. She taught Japanese traditional paper folding culture
"Origami" to kids there. As an artist, she was a part of the mural painting team for the
Atlanta Coca Cola museum in 2007. Arisa started a movement called "min-gei", which is a
fruition of her concept "LIFE IN ART." The purpose of "min-gei" is to regenerate the
Japanese folk art movement called "Mingei," which developed in the late 1920s, as a new
style in the modern time. The theory of Mingei was to discover beauty in everyday objects
created by nameless craftsmen and introduce it to the world. "min-gei" restores the
movement in present time with a new theory: making art a part of our every day life. Arisa
introduces "min(everyone's)-gei(art)" so instead of seeing art as special and intangible
thing, everyone would consider art as something familiar and intimate with our lives, just
like our every day objects. There are min-gei crews all over the world now, including
France, Japan, Hungary, Italy, Russia, UK, and the US.

new life in the US, and it was there that she realized that dance and art have no borders,
No language was necessary to communicate; she danced to find her identity, and created
artwork to express herself.
Back in Japan, she majored in oil painting at Tama Art University, and completed a Masters
of Fine Art in ceramics in 2007 at the same school. Saori portrays her world by combining
two-dimensional design and three-dimensional objects, a fusion that she calls as"2.5 D."
"Existence" is a fundamental theme in her creative process, and she approaches her work as
if she is giving birth from her finger tips. Her female torsos, sculpted in clay, display
the same variation in shape and size as their human counterparts.
