A farewell exhibition for a historical building in Tokyo built in 1937 as a centre for rice trading, which in the 1990s became the home for several Japanese contemporary art galleries. The exhibition organisers invited more than 30 artists to explore various spaces throughout the building which was scheduled to be demolished. We are the Children of Rice (Wine) was a myth relating to the history of the building and the historical relationship between Thailand and Japan dating back 700 years when Japanese pirates smuggled into Siam. While helping gallerist Shugo Satani to move stuff out from a storage room in the building, Navin Rawanchaikul found an old mural that seemed to be made by one of his country-mates. It was a sort of Thai traditional temple mural on a wooden panel. The painting recorded lifestyles of people from the Ayutthaya period surrounded by visiting foreign guests. There are several scenes in the mural revealing how international visitors were a part of Siamese life, including a scene of Japanese folk eating, drinking, and socialising with the locals. The mysterious mural was presented in the exhibition along with seven panels of comic telling the story how Navin found it. The installation included a video documenting Navin and his friends drinking at a sala in a suburb of Chiang Mai, discussing the origins of the local Thai local wine sato and Japanese’s sake both of which are made from rice. It was the beginning of ongoing research into the historical brotherhood of both countries and the forthcoming original liquor from Navin Production.
