A journalist upends Japan’s entrenched codes of silence when she brings sexual assault charges against a well-connected member of the Japanese media elite. Against the wishes of many of those closest to her, Shiro Ito presses on with her case, bravely confronting an entire system. Her case becomes a landmark in Japan, and her choices a riveting reminder of the insidiousness of sexism and patriarchal oppression anywhere.
Constituting the entirety of all the perceived aspects of an object creating their own order, form not only contains visual elements and characteristics, but can also help elucidate concepts.
Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
