This is the signature image from the exhibition 'Master, An Ainu Story', which was shown in May 2019 at The ICP Museum in New York and previously at The Brunei Gallery, SOAS and Sway Gallery, London & Stockholm. It tells the story of Kenji Matsuda - known as “Master” (which roughly translates to “boss” in English) to his family, colleagues and patrons. He has grown up sandwiched between two generations of Ainu (an indigenous people of Japan) which have very different attitudes towards their heritage. While his grandparent’s generation encouraged their children and grandchildren to assimilate for fear of discrimination, recent generations have started to demand recognition of their indigenous status, which was finally given in February 2019. This photograph was taken facing the mountain known as Pennishiri in the Ainu language, which translates as 'Male Mountain'. The photo symbolises the mourning of what is gone of the culture but offers hope that there is a future for the Ainu people and culture. The original artwork is is signed and numbered on the back. Printed on Giclee Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper, which gives it a textured almost hand drawn feel.
