Warehouse TERRADA’s PIGMENT TOKYO Presents PIGMENT COLOR PHILOSOPHY, a Talk Session Series Exploring Business through Color
-Learn about aesthetics and art thinking focused on “color”
PIGMENT TOKYO, an art materials lab operated by Warehouse TERRADA, will present “PIGMENT COLOR PHILOSOPHY,” a talk session series to explore art thinking by improving aesthetics from October 24th (Wed.). Recently, businesses are requiring management strategies based on aesthetics and art thinking. However, there is an issue of “not knowing effective techniques to put aesthetic thinking to practical use” since these are specialized techniques. PIGMENT TOKYO focuses on colors which are elements of beauty close to everyone, and will offer ideas to solve this issue through a talk session series. The guest speakers of the event have been engaged in creative activities in their respective fields and will present their own ideas of beauty gained through their continuous study and research. The first in this series, entitled “Story of Colors in Japanese Flower Arrangement,” will feature Ryuho Sasaoka, the head master of the Mishoryu-Sasaoka School of Ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arrangement). Centering on colors, he will talk about his theoretical ideas gained in studying architecture, and his sense and intuition to recognize beauty developed through Ikebana. He will talk about “the ability to think with awareness” to cultivate aesthetics. At future sessions, professionals in business, technology, culture, entertainment and various other fields will be invited as guests to share their world of magnificent stories about “color” through each speaker’s philosophy of colors as a professional.
