Discover new discoveries from the past, and feel a little emo and fresh in this too-niche exhibition focusing on 1998.

It was 1998, 25 years ago. The Nagano Olympics were held, Antonio Inoki retired from professional wrestling, France won the World Cup for the first time, Windows 98 was released, Google was founded, and Akira Kurosawa passed away.

It may be nostalgic for those over 35 , but for those under 35, it may be all "? . An exhibit focusing on the year 1998 is being held today.

The content of the exhibition, which is too niche for one of the organizers, theMr. Tatsuo YamaguchiThe message from the "Mere Old Man" says it all. It may be a bit long , but please read it.

. men remember events in the western calendar.
Once upon a time, a friend of mine said to me, "I thought everyone was like that at the time. I thought it was just like that, but I guess not.
Apparently, culture buffs of all kinds always remember by the Western calendar and keep track of the timeline.
Music, movies, sneakers, T-shirts, musical instruments, sports, cars, cameras, magazines, buildings, furniture, wine, .
Many of them often discuss the year in question, such as "This is 1986, when I was 10 years old, I miss it. (If it's about the "Fat" era, it will come up).
I wanted to do a project that delves into the personal and multifaceted aspects of such a Western calendar.
　
It all started when Mr. Hosokubo told me that he was going to build a space in Kanda Ogawamachi.
There is also a gallery feature, so we were chatting about doing something,
We had a lot of "back in the day" conversations about when we first met.
. but neither of us could remember at all. As we looked things up, there was this, there was that , when was that? When was this? And so on.
I like to talk about the past because of my profession, but I feel like doing a project that focuses on the year we met, gathers physical evidence, and becomes emo on its own, without knowing who would benefit.
. and a powerful helper, Eisuke, a wunderkind who can talk about the 90s in all directions, was also involved, and the year 1998 was felt by a slightly younger generation.
. I hope you all feel something from 1998 that you did not expect.

For those who know the history of the past, it is not only nostalgia, but also a chance to experience "something" that they did not realize at the time, while for those who do not know the past, everything may seem fresh. One of the reasons why people want to visit independent exhibitions like this is that the passion of the creators is directly conveyed.
