Title

And, do you still hear the peacocks

Introduction

“After the accident, I learned that a peacock was left in the evacuation zone. I imagined a peacock spreading its beautiful feathers and walking through the empty city.” ——Miho Kajioka

After studying at art universities in the United States and Canada, Miho Kajioka returned to Japan and worked in the field of journalism for over ten years. During the Great East Japan Earthquake, Kajioka worked in the Tokyo bureau of a Brazilian television station and immediately focused on reporting in the Tohoku region. Through her reporting activities, she met many people and visited different places. She realized that these experiences were never just personal or emotional feelings; they couldn't be conveyed through journalism alone. With this feeling, Kajioka decided to return to art once again.

This was co-published by the(M) éditions in France and IBASHO in Belgium in 2022. This edition is based on the artist's handmade book 'And, where did the peacocks go' originally published in 2018. This book collects the various thoughts of Kajioka, who returned to art after the earthquake, and pieces them together like fragments.
