November 8th - 13th, 2022 / 2022年11月8日~11月13日
Since 2011, the Degdar Foundation in Kazakhstan has held events called "Spring in Japan" and "Autumn in Japan" to promote musical exchange between Japan and the countries of Central Asia.
This time, they held “Autumn in Japan 2022”. In this event, Yoshida held his solo exhibition. He showed 60 pieces of his artwork selected from his three projects, of which the theme was the Great East Japan Earthquake. Kanie’s documentary film about Fukushima was also screened. Yoshida and Kanie gave lectures as well. Many people visited the Kyrgyzstan National Museum of History, which was the venue, and they were very interested in Japan and the lives of the people in the affected areas 10 years after the earthquake.
カザフスタンのデグダル基金は2011年から音楽で日本と中央アジアの国々との交流を図る「日本の春」と「日本の秋」というイベントを開催してきました。
今回は「日本の秋2022」の中で東日本大震災をモチーフにした吉田繁先生の3つのプロジェクトから60点の写真作品を展示する個展と蟹江さんの福島のドキュメンタリー映画の上映が行われ、おふたりによる講演会も開催されました。会場となったキルギスタン国立歴史博物館には多くの方が見に来てくださり、日本のことやに震災から10年後の被災地の人々の暮らしにたいへん興味を持っていただきました。
The Kyrgyzstan National Museum of History was established in 1925 in Bishkek. The museum is a huge stone structure, and many valuable items which are related to the history of the Kyrgyzstan Silk Road and the former Soviet Union were in storage.

60 pieces of artworks, selected from his three projects, “ A Border for a Prayer, One Minute Story ”, “ The Sea Wall - hope or despair “, and “ Message from Fukushima. Embracing Despair, Discovering Peace “ were exhibited. The title of my solo exhibition was “Bridge Over Troubled Water“.

He usually prints out his artwork all by himself, however, we had to ask staff members in Kyrgyzstan to print out his artwork this time. They were not the same as the original prints of him, but the local staff members made great efforts and did everything they could.
今回はプリントは現地でやっていただくしか方法がなく、いつものように自分の手で仕上げたものではありませんが、できる範囲で頑張って展示してくださいました。
After the lecture, he signed autographs and took pictures with visitors. He also responded to all the questions about the current lives of the people in Fukushima from the audience. The lecture was a great success with excitement.
講演会後は写真撮影やサインのリクエストにお応えしながら、被災地の方々の現在の暮らしに関する質問もたくさんいただいた熱い講演会になりました。
