The exhibition will run from October 16th to 22nd at our Uptown location and from October 24th to 30th at our SOHO location. We will be having an opening reception at our Uptown location to celebrate Mr. Matsuzaki's exhibition: "Omamori - Musing stones."

Please join us for Japanese sake and the unveiling of his stone sculptures on Thursday, October 16th. Come and see his beautiful and unique sculptures, which will be available for purchase. The reception begins at 4pm and will continue until 7pm.

Mr. Matsuzaki was born in Kyoto In 1959. He was inspired by a Buddha made of a stone and began work for a stone sculpture company in 1983. In 1987 he set-up as a stone sculptor in Kyoto and has since been developing his own sculpting style while remaining close to the shapes of a classic statue of Buddha. This is his third exhibition in New York hosted by 45rpm.

Each Omamori is created with this little mantra in mind:
Something new.
Something unchanging.
Something which creates a sense of ease.
Fully bathed in light or just a faint glow.
Its appearance gradually changes.
It wants only to exist and does so naturally in many places.
