For this new group show, Mazel Galerie is delighted to invite another gallery into its walls for the first time: Sato Gallery. Natsukashii will bring together some fifteen artists to discuss the notion of positive nostalgia, and to compare native and non-native Japanese artists' visions of Japan.
Natusikashii is a Japanese word for which there is no English equivalent; nostalgia comes close, but it expresses a sad longing to return to a time when things were good. Natsukashii is gratitude and happiness for the past. A specific scent, sight, sound, or flavor, which evokes a beautiful memory with fondness triggers natsukashii..
