About the Item
Sarumawashi, literally "monkey dancing" evolved over a 1000-year history in Japan. Ancient Japanese chronicles refer to it as a form of religious ritual designed to protect the horses of warriors. It later developed into a popular form of festival entertainment and was performed all over Japan from temples to imperial courts. Hiroshi Watanabe remembered these performing monkeys from his childhood and traveled to japan to rediscover them. Rather than making pictures of the performances, Watanabe instead chose to produce this series of formal portraits mad in a make-shift on location studio in Japan. These pictures not only portray the monkeys with great dignity and respect but are also a beautiful, quiet reflection of Watanabe’s sensitivities and artistic soul.
