Members of Nanonano Tribe welcome you first in the EYE HOUSE. Right after you feel relaxed with the warm ivory colored walls, huge strange objects capture you.

" Wow, I have never seen anything like these....Wait, this one looks like someone....Yeah, I know a person like this! "
As you gaze at the works, images in your mind expand in this house.

	Somebody said: " These objects must be dancing at night! " Check their positions when you visit the house. Maybe they have changed....

Mr. Ohnishi expressed himself in his illustration works in the 70's, but since the late 80's, he has been creating three-dimensional objects. His works that were made while he was living in Tokyo are exhibited mainly in HEAD HOUSE.
After he moved his workshop to Hokkaido, he has made more large sized objects, like the ones you see in the EYE HOUSE.

This is how Mr. Ohnishi creates his works:
He gets a variety of materials from nature and useless things (for example, driftwood, buoys and seashells taken from the sea, fallen leaves and stones on the road, stickers on bananas, corks, empty cans ... etc.) and places them beside him. When he feels auras of the materials, he makes his objects at a stretch.

Mr. Ohnishi doesn't try to make objects "his way", but waits for the messages from the materials telling him "Please make me like this!" Some materials stay as they are for a while. Quite often, he can't stop smiling when he is working on his objects, listening to their messages.

When you were a child, probably you didn't have much preconception on things around you and made funny things without caring colors and shapes. Children's works look--- " What in the world is THIS?? "--- But they are so fascinating and they have full of originality. It seems like our experiences limit our images as we get older. But you can feel your imaginative, or creative power grows when you are in SHIGECHAN LAND.
