‘Strange and exciting’: Japanese food sculpture goes on show in London
The silver-stripe round herring is a delicate fish with a metallic band along its flanks. It can only be eaten fresh in the area where it’s caught – the warm waters of southern Japanin Kagoshima prefecture. Served as kibinago sashimi, it has become a regional delicacy: tiny shiny fish served on a plate, coiled like chainmail.
If your 2024 travel plans don’t include Kagoshima, you could instead head to Kensington, London, to see this dish. From October, a very special version of kibinago sashimi will be on display at the Japan House cultural centre as part of Looks Delicious! This is the UK’s first exhibition of sampuru, the realistic food replicas used in Japan in place of printed menus.
A 50ft (15m) sculpture to be installed in Bradford as part of its City of Culture year was inspired by the area’s multiculturalism, its creator has said.
Artist Saad Qureshi, who moved with his family from Pakistan to Heaton at the age of eight, said he had designed the Tower of Now to celebrate the “incredible” city’s diversity.
Originally intended to play soundscapes featuring voices in different languages, the tower has since been changed to a solely visual piece of art.
