STAR PRIZE
Hikikomori Artwork
Courtesy of Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi
50cm x 60cm – 2021
Oil on canvas, manga pages, crystal resin.Hikikomori is a social phenomenon, that was first identified in Japan, but has now extended across the world, and is characterised by acute social withdrawal. During the pandemic people worldwide got acquainted with this reclusive lifestyle. The artwork upcycles manga pages to portray the voluntary confinement syndrome, that reduces the human being to a mere mannequin. The kinetic images evoke the moving pictures found in anime, that are being celebrated by the Kotatsu Japanese Animation Festival in Wales.

Raffle Aberystwyth 2022
Below is the list of raffle prizes to be won. Raffle tickets will be available at Kotatsu stall during the festival for 50p each.
STAR PRIZE
Ozeki Rai Junmai Sake
Courtesy of Oriental Mart
RAI is created using a new age labour-intensive production process with the yeast, koji and lactic acid being the keys to this rich brew. Timing of the additions to the starter mash influence the flavour and aroma. Ozeki exclusively developed a new way of making sake to bring out the savouriness while sustaining easy drink-ability. The unique brewing process of RAI creates a pleasant earthiness that is not too bold nor meek with subtle hints of caramel in the nose. A straightforward flavour that can be enjoyed for hours.
