PEOPLE
JIkke van Loon, artist
This project is by initiative of artist Jikke van Loon, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
She regularly visited the temple guardians in the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam en decided to help them ‘go back home’.
Both the Niōmon Foundation (Stichting Niōmon) and Ippan Shadan Hōjin NIOMON Yokota were established to help facilitate and organise this project.
Niōmon Foundation
Stichting Niomon aims to facilitate and organize an art project by the name of ‘Project NIO-MON, A portal, A Home’ initiated by Dutch artist JIkke van Loon.
The aim of this project is to build and / or strengthen the original gate “Niōmon”, home to the returned DelftsBlue Temple guardians. A Niōmon is both a physical gate that houses temple guardians and a portal to 'wisdom, compassion and knowledge'. This project aims to promote these values by examining and delving deeper into our own and other people's frames and realities in annual AIR, debates, workshops, lectures and exchange projects and everything that can be conductive to them.’
