<Short Introduction of NIMO>
The New Ikebukuro Montparnasse Organisation (NIMO) is an NPO group for independent artists established in February 2010. The organisation has been officially supported by the office of Tosima-ku Tokyo Japan since April 2010, and our members consist of artists, creaters and musicians of all genres. NIMO's main activity is organising art events for our members and supporting each artist to develop and enhance the quality of Japanese art culture.
NIMO is inspired by Ikebukuro Montparnasse, an artist village built around the 1930s in Ikebukuro city Tosima-ku Tokyo. During the 1930s many young artists set up studios in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, and many avant-garde artists worked together and developed Japanese art culture; artists including Saburo Aso, Masaaki Terada, Shunsuke Matsumoto, Iwami Furusawa, Ichiro Fukuzawa, and Kikuji Yamashita. Our aim is to reproduce the artist village so that our artists can contribute to the enhancement of Japanese artists, and for the motivation and development of Japanese art culture.
<Exhibition Experience in London>
This group exhibition in London is our first project in a foreign country. The main aim of this exhibition is to provide experience and the opportunity to have inter-cultural communication in an artistic arena for our artists. We believe that it is a great opportunity for our artists to see the reaction from an audience in London and we hope that it will be a chance for artists to express themselves to the world through their artwork, and also to get some inspiration from their experience.
The concept of our group exhibition would be "output from Japan". In other words, the concept is committed to each participating artist. In this exhibition there are almost 60 artists from many genres, such as painting, fine art, sound art, photography, ceramic art, illustration, calligraphy, and sculpture. We would like our audience to enjoy their free expression and also to find connections in their artwork. We hope that this exhibition will develop some rapport between our audience in London and Japanese art. (公式HPより抜粋)

冬のMYコンドルズ祭・第参弾!イケメンヨガ in Kyoto今年も行ってきました☆コンドルズ随一のイケメンダンサー&ヨガ講師の青田・クリシュナ・潤一先生(京都公演の特報にミドルネームが!)のヨガワークショップ。年納めにヨガで煩悩リセット!もー、筋肉痛バキバキDEATH!!ワークショップ終了後もちょっとしばらく動きたくなかった・・。思ってたよりキツかった。めっちゃ恥ずかしい大失態もしてしまうし!ワークショップ中はもう必死!でも!!青田先生のアガペーを感じる最高の時間でしたすごく楽しかった。ありがとうございました!
去年の12月にここでヨガデビューをして1年です。早い。ヨガを始めたと言っても、レッスンはイケメンヨガWSとハタヨガの体験レッスンに行ったくらいで、ほぼ自主トレ。イケメンヨガで習ったスリヤナマスカラAをほぼ毎朝してるくらいです。(最近さぼってたけど。)何か大きく変わったわけではないけど、自分の身体を意識する時間が増えたことかな。スリヤナマスカラも簡化二十四式太極拳も、現時点の私には動きが違うだけで同じです。現代にも伝わってる昔の偉い人が考えた心と体の健康法。
