For years, Korea and Japan seemed to countries bound to clash. Coexistence between two powerful neighbors of different cultures so often was a source of the outbreak of conflict. Little by little the situation has been changing in favor of a more tolerant and mixed. This is the case of the artist Kaoru Kobori, born in Japan, married to a Korean resident in Spain, currently exhibited in Madrid, where he lives. "Kaoru Dolls" is an outstanding example of their work. A score of dolls created with different materials such as porcelain, paper and fabric, between 15 and 50 cm high, reflecting the three influences of the artist: Japan, Korea and the West.
Children and the elderly childish wearing kimonos, hanbooks or ruffled dresses. From Hina Ningyo, dolls representing the ancient court of Japan and March 3 each participating in the Hina Matsuri, the Doll Festival, a celebration with over a thousand years old, from "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings "inspired by the story of the same name by Gabriel García Márquez in which a fallen angel on earth, wounded and dying, is mistreated by humans, through a couple of callose straight out of the Gypsy Ballads. The exhibition entitled "Come Spring", which will remain open until March 13 at Centro Cultural Nicolás Salmerón (Mantua, 51, metro Cocha Espina) is complemented by a Korean Film Series, which on the occasion of International Day of Women and 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Spain and Korea, will be held in this Centre on 6,7,13 and 14 March (tel. 91 353 20 00).
