Shibucho, boy, have I missed it.
A miniature sushi shoppe that would not feel out of place Tokyo's Ginza district does its traditional thing exceptionally well in a nondescript, down at it's heels neighborhood, stuck somewhat halfway between the eastern fringes of Koreatown and the commencement of Downtown LA. Shige-san has been making sushi here for close to four decades, after putting some serious time at the original Shibucho in Yahoan Plaza under the expert tutelage of Shibutani-san in the early 1970s, which delicately shines through in his utterly pristine morsels of fresh fish.
The cantankerous, curmudgeonly, verging on authoritarian cum despotic sushi chef (in some sushi circles) keeps going about his creative endeavor in his own idosyncratic fashion. That is serving simple cuts of fish and shellfish the traditional way, which also means two pieces of nigir-zushi at a time. Deceptively simple yet transcendental.
Suffice to say the price of entry for newbies and other novices is quite dear. First timers may be turned away before stepping inside depending on various factors such as believing the joint to be a Sirachi cream cheese inflected roll and sake bomb joint. Or if one only wants to devour oodles of fusion inspired and overly sauced junk.
Shige even goes to the lengths of placing myriad of RESERVATION placards along the length of the sushi bar to scare away potential customers when the occasion should be deemed necessary. Furthermore, he will turn down your request for an omakase meal at a first timer. Because after all, "how do I know what they want to eat ?", he gruffly tells a obsequious patron when the request is put in.
When the sushi chef was asked what his favorite sushi was he stated bluntly, "I don't eat sushi." After a lifetime of cutting fresh fish, even the veteran master desires other bites to eat in his off hours. (Urban legend has it that he frequents his friend's Southern Italian restaurant on Beverly Blvd: Madeo Ristorante, which also is the tip off to his olive oil-sauced albacore salad as well as his morsel of eggplant parmigiano (heavy on the finely sourced Parmigiana-Reggiana) that puts many a red-sauce Italian trattoria to shame.
He told one customer who inquired about whether the uni was from Santa Barbara with "How should I know ? I just cut fish. Maybe the fisherman knows." However, he does pride himself on sourcing his fish from Tokyo, Spain, Italay, and even Norway (Norway ? Yes, Norway).
The soundtrack ranges from smooth jazz to Andre Bocelli (i.e. "time to say goodnight") to the Pink Panther theme (yes, that iconic, groundbreaking ditty) each and every night.
Shige has a sideline in bottles of ultra-expensive Bordeaux and Burgundy from the 1950s to 60s though caveat emptor if you deign to order a bottle on a whim. An insidious sticker shock would not begin to describe your imminent troubles.
Working primarily alone, he sculpts each piece to order in the traditional bite-size pieces unique to the edo-mae roots.
His maguro sushi is like slices of ruby hewed steaks snatched from the sea. His yellowtail is quite toothsome in its way to reinforce its structural integrity. It must be said that not all fish should be mushy. The toro sushi melts in your mouth, as it usually does, though its heavily streaked with that ultra-pinkish hue that is highly prized to toro connoisseurs. His kanpachi and kinmedai have always been exceptional. And the obligatory toro hand roll filled to the brim with chopped toro and crunchy pickles is exactly what the doctor ordered to end this repast.
Even his wines by the glass works in conjunction with the meatier fishes.
And to end the meal ? What else by a pillowy, airy, puffy, lighter than air slab of tiramisu (Other desserts include panna cotta, poached pear in red wine with creme anglaise, a fruit tart, and chocolate tart).
You pay the usually excessive bill and then saunter out to your car to visit Los Angeles once again.
A paragon of perfection.
re: ns1
i went to shibucho never having been there; just made a reservation. though i had heard all sorts of 'horror' stories, we found it a thoroughly enjoyable place with great fish.
when we sat at the bar, the guy just said, "what can i make for you?"
we talked for a bit about what sort of sushi we liked, and had at it.
it was expensive, but not terribly so. the wine list is insane, but the cheapest red on there was pretty good and went surprisingly well with the sushi.
i'm sad i haven't been back, but i encourage folks to try it and not be intimidated. the sushi is just that good.
now, i went a few years ago, and maybe he's changed.
re: aylerrules
Nah, Shige-san's his same immutable self these days...
re: ns1
Pretty sure that is sushi chef humor. Yasuda and Mori would joke like that back in the day.
Me: Amazing sayori.
Mori: Thank you. It's from Nijiya.
re: Porthos
Sughoi. Nijiya Prefecture, no less.
re: fgrade
What's FTP ??????
Thanks man.
re: kevin
f that prick.
btw, I went thru a Shibucho phase a few years back... and he never bothered to insult me, nor did I ever ask for "omakase". Show up w/ CC, show polite respect (not fear, nor reverence), don't ask stupid Q's, acknowledge his history, eat nigiri, walk away with a slight bow.
it's a dance, there's no point in pussyfooting it.
re: TonyC
wow, tony, you put it better than i could.
and usually i don't order omakase there, or in fact ever, because after all, how does he know what i want to eat ??????
right ?????
years ago, i had the best sautéed pate de foie imported straight from paris, in butter, pure exceptional bliss.
and that ain't no joke.
I kinda knew you had it in you, kevin, but DAMN!
Eloquent, insightful.
... but where are the photos? :-)

Exactly. Unlike urasawa at least you know your money is going for toro and hairy crab not rent!
re: paranoidgarliclover
I can't either, but when it comes to food….
re: paranoidgarliclover
i think 175 to 180, when said and done.
and there is not itemized sushi list with the bill.
thanks man.
Thank you Kevin for a good read.
I've never been to Shibucho and I'm curious about the details of the actual sushi. How would you describe the rice, the garnishing, proportions / formation, etc. and do they remind you of any other place?
For example, this past week I went to Shunji, Mori, Go's Mart, and Kiriko for nigiri omakase, and I find some apparent differences in style and details among most of them. Shunji and Mori are most similar, Kiriko a pleasant surprise, Go's Mart a bit out from left field - the difference between Mori and Go's Mart is huge in all the details. Shibucho sounds like a slightly unique style, given the eggplant parm and tiramisu...also the red wine pairing (never thought of this before).
I'm trying to decide if I should go to Shibucho on my stay here, but I like to do as much research as possible (and those awful Eater and Yelp posts tell you absolutely nothing relevant about the actual sushi, or food for that matter). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Kevin.
re: markambrose73
Wow, it looks like you've had quite the Chowhound week here in L.A.!
I'll take a stab at trying to answer your question with regards to Shibucho.
I would say that Shige-san's nigiri is closest to what's found at Mori. At Shibucho, the neta cuts are ever-so-slightly bigger than at Mori (but that's more of a stylistic nuance than an actual attempt at customer appeasement). The shari is quite good as well. Shige-san is a consummate oenophile, and very often enjoys infusing a bit of an Italian sensibility into his meals.
In addition, Shige-san makes his own tamagoyaki. I would say this is the best tamagoyaki in town - even better than the already-heavenly one served by Hiro-san at Urasawa.
So overall, I would summarize Shibucho as traditionalist (though not strictly Edomae), with an occasional nod to Italy, and a wine cellar which may have few rivals in our fine metropolis - An interesting combination, to be sure. Enjoy, if you do decide to go!
re: J.L.
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate all the details. Yes, LA has been good this trip. My bud kyee87 from the San Francisco boards told me about all the sushi here and it's been great exploring and paying attention to the differences among some of LA's excellent sushiya. I could go into detail of all my experiences but I don't want to sidetrack this thread.
With that said, Mori was an excellent meal that's right up my alley, and if Shibucho is similar, then that is promising. Mori is quite a different experience than Go's Mart, and while I see the appeal at Go's Mart, Mori is definitely more my style in all the details.
Thank you for the note about the tamagoyaki.
I am not much of an oenophile though I do enjoy champagne with sushi - I think bubbles go great with seafood (Launois is my pick).
I will consider Shibucho, and if I go, I will report back - thank you for your response J.L.
re: markambrose73
Ah yes, kyee87 has helped me out on several occasions with his (her?) keen insights.
You're not alone: Many aficionados opine that Mori and Go's Mart represent two almost-diametrically opposite approaches to high end sushi. I look at L.A.'s elite-level sushi scene as a grand spectrum, with one end ascribing to a strict, traditionalist interpretation, with the far other end being creative, inventive, and often looking to fuse with other genres/cuisines.
My beverage of choice with sushi is cold beer. Of course, if French bubbly is offered in a meal, who am I to pass that up? I particularly like Ruinart - Having family (distant, but family nonetheless) near that region of France certainly sways me in that general direction. :-)
That having been said, you really should try dining at n/naka while here in L.A.
re: markambrose73
i'll have to get back to you on that,
pea brain is fried right about now.
Kevin, if you don't mind, I had a question. Re: the toro, what do you mean "heavily streaked"? Was it an even distribution of fat (a la shimofuri, by the head, and looking like a piece of marbled wagyu) or were there strips of fat alternating with the meat (dandara, by the belly). I personally like shimofuri toro (Sushi Nozomi has a surprisingly good rendition), though I've spoken with many others, including itamae, who prefer dandara.
Also, for the bill of of $175-180, approximately how many pieces of nigiri?
Thank you,
here's the rundown, everything is nigri except for the eggplant parm and the tiramisu and the albacore salad, pieces are way bigger than mori but eco-mae style, it's nothing like go smart/mastsuhisa/zo/shunji:
(two pieces each) (h/r is a hand roll)
oh, and a glass of red wine, of course:
Shiro Salad
Sweet Shrimp
Spanish Mackerel
toro h/r
Thanks for the thorough review kevin. It couldn't have been more timely as I'm halfway through a sushi quest (like Ambrose it would seem) and didn't have this on my radar at all.
One question, for first timers, what would you recommend as a stated budget to allow the chef to do his thing without going into overkill territory?
re: onelabne
125 per, before drinks at least.
re: kevin
We could do a meetup at the New Orleans place that's mentioned in the other thread (if it ends up being any good). ;) Hee, hee.
re: paranoidgarliclover
which new orleans place ???????

kevin may be back but he's clearly very, very rusty -- or the inability to use profanity is hindering his skill set.
ChefMarkvs got this older thread from chandavkl bubbling away on Jul 25 about NOLA food in DTLA. Please catch-up kevin
re: Ciao Bob
" or the inability to use profanity is hindering his skill set."
most likely.
btw, since when does Mr. Chinese Restaurants rec the NOLA goods ???????????
this a weird day.
re: onelabne
Please report back.
Just a quick point re: Shige's wine list- Yes, it's objectively expensive, but it is actually hundreds (and in some cases thousands) less than the restaurant list market value of the wines he offers. Premier and Grand Cru vineyards and chateaus with +15 years of age on them are usually upwards of $1000/btl, not his $300 and $400s...
I walked in, sans reservation, at about 6:30 to an empty restaurant, a semi-surprised looking server, and a sushi bar absent a sushi chef. The server met me at the door and ran through the usual litany of restrictions designed to scare off the roll-n-bowl sushi eater: no menu, no rolls, no cooked items. I nodded in assent and was shown to a seat at the sushi bar.
After ordering a glass of white wine (I'm still not prepared to drink red wine with sushi), Shige san entered from the back of the restaurant and began to prepare his station. Minutes passed with nary an acknowledgment of my presence. No matter, I used the time to scope out the celebrity photos, newspaper and magazine clippings, and assorted bric-a-brac around the restaurant. Michael Cera made me laugh with his words on a photo with Shige, "You have taught me so much. I feel an attachment to you now."
A few ticks of the clock later, Shige walked over and asked me what I liked. Prepared for this question - thanks to you all - I mentioned that I enjoy everything, but that my favorites are X, Y, Z, and that the things I desire least are A, B, and C. Apparently satisfied with my response, the procession of seafood commenced. I didn't take photos or notes, and Shige did not name any of the fish he served me. So the following list represents my best guess as to what I ate, and the order is definitely not accurate. Two of each:
* Chutoro sashimi (opener)
* Geoduck
* Scallop
* Halibut
* Some kind of snapper
* Yellow tail
* Shad
* Horse Mackerel
* Ikura
* Uni
* Otoro
* Unagi (closer)
I was happy to find the majority of the nigiri served without sauce or salt. The pieces which did receive such treatment were handled with a light touch, intensifying rather than obscuring the flavors of the faultlessly cut fish. The rice was splendid - slightly above ambient temp and possessing that almost imperceptible, yet crucial, tang of vinegar. All told, the fish to rice ratio, the knife work, the freshness of the sushi, and the rice itself combined to create one tear-inducingly delightful bite after another. There wasn't a single item that I did not enjoy immensely, with some of them - such as the mackerel, ikura, and shad - being among the best I've ever tasted.
Now for a couple of minor nitpickings:
1. The size of the nigiri is substantial. This combined with the rapid fire pace of service (perhaps because I was the only one in the restaurant) and the fact that each serving consisted of two pieces left me as full as I've ever been off of high end sushi. I like the idea of serving two of each, since it allows me to think a lot about what I'm tasting on the first bite, and then surrender myself to unthinking bliss on the second one. However, slightly smaller pieces might moderate the experience a bit.
2. The wasabi was applied with a bit of a heavy hand, causing me to get that "nostril flare" feeling on a few bites. I don't mind the flare, and the wasabi is certainly doing wonders to the overall bite, but I felt it could have been toned down the slightest notch.
Other than the two small gripes above, I found the meal to be without fault, vaulting Shibucho immediately into my top 3 sushi spots in Los Angeles. I was disappointed that I didn't get to try the eggplant parmesan or other prepared dishes, but that will leave me something to look forward to for the next time.
Thanks all for putting me on to this great find. I'll definitely be returning.
re: onelabne
Thanks for that quick (and organized!) report back! Yeah, 2 pieces of nigiri makes you (in theory) twice as full. Sounds like the Shige-san we know and love.
Did you request a piece of the tamagoyaki to close it out? Too full? I completely understand.
Try the Italian offerings next visit.
re: onelabne
Thanks for reporting back
re: jessejames
in the middle courses, but never the twain shall meet.
there's no fusion, meaning the park isn't combined with the toro, etc.
they remain separate and distinct, i like it, see above.
re: jessejames
that white japanese apron thing-y and clogs, monk attire, if you will, the sign of a true artiste.
I liked your review of Shibucho. Makes me think of the good old days of many late-night omakase dinners ;)
But, I'm fairly certain that Shibucho on Beverly is the original location and that Shibutani-san opened Shibucho #2 at Yaohan Plaza after selling the Beverly store to Shige. Shibucho #3 followed in the OC.
re: yinyangdi
This is my understanding of the Shibucho lineage as well. I miss Shibutani-san...he was my sushi mentor and introduced me to many new and unique items...I miss his warmth and twinkle in his eye!
re: yinyangdi
Don't know if he sold to Shige before or after the Yaohan location, but yeah the Beverly location was the first.
re: stravaigint
no on the scrambled eggs with truffles.

Alert the developers! Unlocked bootloaders are coming! Motorola's received quite a bit of pressure regarding their locked bootloaders on most Motorola Blur-enabled Android devices. These bootloaders prevent individual users from modifying and creating their own custom kernels, which means they also prevent the creation of true custom ROMs.
But, Motorola's opened up to the external developers of the Android world. They recently vowed to make phones with unlockable bootloaders available in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Little did we know that Motorola would take steps to retroactively unlock previously released devices, too!
Today, we confirmed that the leaked early builds of Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) for the Motorola Atrix 4G will, in fact, allow users to unlock their bootloaders using the traditional command: "fastboot oem unlock."
News of the unlock came today after a Motorola forums member posted a hint about the bootloader in the Motorola forums. It was officially redacted, but eval- over at XDA-Developers decided to look through a leaked Chinese SBF file's contents and found that the unlock would be possible. From there, we tried it on our AT&T Gingerbread leak.
This unlock means that custom kernels and full custom ROMs will be totally available once Gingerbread is launched for the Atrix 4G. Right now, we can confirm that at least the Chinese Atrix variant and the AT&T Atrix 4G model will allow these unlockable bootloaders. We won't be surprised when Gingerbread brings unlock-ability to Bell and other world carriers, too. Hit the "read more" button to see pictures and video after the break.
Sorry for the extremely blurry video. We'll work on a new one as soon as possible.

Maybe if Fliehr quit dating women less than half his age he wouldn't run into these problems.
He needs to throw away that "Jerry Lawler Guide to Dating"…..or is it the "Mark Callaway Guide to Dating".
Cradle snatchers.
Eh, it's been fairly successful for Mark. It's not like he has a billion ex's like Jerry or Rick. He has a normal human's number of ex's now a days.

Displaying town's Titanic links
Last updated at 21:12, Thursday, 29 March 2012
An exhibtion to mark Maryport's links to the Titanic was officially opened at the town's Wave Centre last Friday by Workington MP Tony Cunningham.
He said the exhibition, called Maryport to the Titanic, was one of the best in the North.
It chronicles the town's maritime history and its links, through the White Star shipping line to the ill-fated Titanic.
Created by volunteers from Maryport Maritime Museum, the exhibition runs until May 13.
Hundreds of people have already been to see it, and by the end of its run more than 2,000 pupils from across Cumbria will have attended.
Mr Cunningham paid tribute to the volunteers, who he said had done a fantastic job in creating the exhibition, and added that he hoped visitors to the Lake District this spring would take the time to go to Maryport.
The exhibition includes dresses from the blockbuster movie Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and visitors can view a replica of a first-class restaurant, a third-class cabin and the ship's radio room.
The admission price includes a ticket with the name and details of individual passengers. At the end of the tour visitors can view a passenger list to discover what happened to the individuals.

UFC Fan Expo Highlight Reel: The Legend of the Punch Machine
By now, you may have already seen that video going around of Pat Barry kicking the stuffing out of our punch-machine at the UFC Fan Expo. When KLM Vending dropped off the machine at our booth, they gave us strict orders to not let any drunken tough-guy idiot try to kick the bag. But when HD Barry drops by and starts rolling his shorts up, you're pretty much helpless to do anything except smile nervously and move out of the way.
Of course, Pat wasn't the only one who was drawn to the punch-machine at the CagePotato.com Fan Expo booth. As VH and ReX already explained, we had a thick crowd of participants and gawkers all weekend, many of whom turned into hooked rubes who couldn't stop pleading for "one more turn" on the thing. And my God did they take it seriously. So here's our video tribute to their efforts, edited by Break Media's Matty Sumida and soundtracked by Fort Minor. Enjoy, and we hope to see you guys at the next one…

Whoa it looks like I needed an extra day to get my head back together after the weekend. The Hullabaloo was so fun! Day 1 was a little busier than Day 2 but that is expected with two day shows.
First, let's start with my loot!
Two bars of soap from Hudson Naturals, who I included in my Hudson Valley Holiday Gift Guide last week, a Lavender Body Spray from Eco Skin Essentials and a t-shirt from artist Adam Lauricella from Graceland Tattoo.
Obligatory booth shots with a cameo from my neighbor Cindy from Cynla - folks were loving her cards which she does all of the artwork for.
And we had a SNOW QUEEN! Actually there were two of them walking around all weekend as this year's mascots, The Winter Spirits. The kids loved them. This is Anna Rexia and she is super awesome.
It was a good weekend overall. The selection of vendors was awesome and I was happy to be included. Decent sales and alot of positive feedback from the people checking it out. This is a show I hope to continue doing because the organizers (Danielle & Courtney) really do such an amazing job. They should host a workshop of how to organize and run a successful craft fair. :)
We're expecting a big snow storm tomorrow morning which is putting a damper on my travel plans. We were gonna head down to the city for Thanksgiving but if we can't drive to the train station, that could be a problem. Maybe snow pictures to come???
I don't know if I'll be updating again this week so if you're reading this, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Seeking the origins and information on the Wayne Family, particularly JOHN WAYNE, who settled with wife MARY WAYNE on Little Whipping Creek in Campbell County in April 1789. The WAYNE's remained in the county 16 years, selling the 200 acre property in 1805, then moved on to Bourbon County Kentucky. Children Benjamin (to Nancy Tankersley in 1801) and Betsy (to Matthias Scott in 1804) were married in the county during the period and John is listed as bondsman in a number of other marriages.

1789 Age 37 - Campbell County Virginia Marriage Records list a John Wayne, a Joseph Wayne and a Thomas Smith on 12 May 1789 as witnessing the marriage of William McAllister to Elizabeth Smith (perhaps Thomas and Elizabeth's daughter?)
1789 Age 37 - Campbell County Virginia Marriage Records list a John Wayne as bondsman and witness on 6 September 1789 at the marriage of James Stuart and Elizabeth Harrod Majors. James Stuart had been bondsman at the 12 May marriage of WIlliam McAllister and Elizabeth Smith

1796 Age 44 - Campbell County Virginia Marriage Records list the marriage of a Milly Whayne "of lawful age" and William Driskill on 23 November 1796 with James Stuart as bondsman and witness
1801 Age 48 - Son Benjamin Franklin Wayne weds Nancy Tankersley in Campbell County, Virginia
1804 Age 51 - Daughter Betsy Wayne marries Matthis Scott in Campbell County Virginia on 18 December 1804. Matthis Scott and John Wayne, father bondsmen
1805 Age 52 - Campbell County Virginia Deeds show that John Wayn and his wife Mary Wayn of Campbell County sold the land described in the 1789 purchase to a John Poindexter for 70 pounds dated 22 November 1805. The deed was singed by John Wayn and Mary Wayn, both signed with X marks

In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared. While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning. Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction.

Armed with little more than a formidable intellect, a bracing wit, and her own brand of cool nerve, Katey embarks on a journey from a Wall Street secretarial pool through the upper echelons of New York society in search of a brighter future. The story opens on New Year's Eve in a Greenwich Village jazz bar, where Katey and her boardinghouse roommate Eve happen to meet Tinker Grey, a handsome banker with royal blue eyes and a ready smile. This chance encounter and its startling consequences cast Katey off her current course, but end up providing her unexpected access to the rarified offices of Conde Nast and a glittering new social circle. Befriended in turn by a shy, principled multimillionaire, an Upper East Side ne'er-do-well, and a single-minded widow who is ahead of her times, Katey has the chance to experience first hand the poise secured by wealth and station, but also the aspirations, envy, disloyalty, and desires that reside just below the surface. Even as she waits for circumstances to bring Tinker back into her orbit, she will learn how individual choices become the means by which life crystallizes loss. Elegant and captivating, Rules of Civility turns a Jamesian eye on how spur of the moment decisions define life for decades to come. A love letter to a great American city at the end of the Depression, readers will quickly fall under its spell of crisp writing, sparkling atmosphere and breathtaking revelations, as Towles evokes the ghosts of Fitzgerald, Capote, and McCarthy.

Trolling, griefing, flaming… call it what you like, but it all boils down to generally being a dick. With tons of popular online games around today like Call of Duty (CoD), FIFA and League of Legends (LoL), it seems there are more trolls spouting abuse in online games than ever before.

I've played with a hell of a lot of gaming trolls over the years, and in that time I've learnt how to deal with their whining ways. Here's a concise guide with eight quick tips for dealing with trolls in video games.

Alpinestars All Mountain WR Pants
not happy. not usable for general riding
The cut/fit is atrocious. I can't imagine who these were designed for. Can't pedal in these at all. They bind horribly. The fit in the waist is fine, although they are a bit short in back (plumber's crack... just a bit). Way too tight in the thighs, which is the main problem. Too loose down at the ankles. There are some elastic panels, but not nearly enough to allow comfortable pedaling. I was constantly having to fiddle/fidget with these, tug up on them here/there; then I could pedal for a bit. then they'd shift a bit and they would bind again. They are warm. But they are not very breathable at all. Clammy/wet on inside from sweat. I'm actually pretty shocked at how bad these are. These are my first pair of long MTB pants. Perhaps their main customers are DH riders that don't have to pedal at all. But for more general riding in cold/wet weather I would suggest looking elsewhere.

The remarkable bark paintings presented in this exhibition date from 1935 to early 1950. Collected by Professor Donald Thomson in the mid-1930s and early 1940s and by Dr Leonhard Adam in the early 1950s from Central and Eastern Arnhem Land, Caledon Bay and Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, these extraordinary works of art are first representations on bark of important ancestral beings, sacred clan designs and totemic animals made in the region specifically for outsiders. They represent some of the earliest translations onto bark of designs and motifs painted on bodies, sacred objects and rock surfaces.
The immense and intricately detailed compositions of principal Yolngu painters, such as Marawili Mundukul, display his depth of cultural knowledge and his extraordinary painting skills. Mundukul and others record onto bark ancient madayin minytji [sacred clan designs], which are normally painted on a man's torso during ceremony to embody the enduring power of totemic ancestors. A masterful suite of works depict anthropomorphic forms that reference the shoulders, torso and thighs of men, and illustrate the immediacy and inventiveness of transferring body markings to bark.
In contrast to Yolngu evocations of eternal ancestral presence, Anindilyakwa artist Minimini Mamarika from Groote Eylandt paints totemic animals and narratives from the recent past—such as the visitation of Macassan trepang fishermen in the nineteenth century. Using iconography that is characteristic of the island's rock art, he places floating forms on black backgrounds produced with manganese unique to the region. Related works by Wonggu Munubggurr, the famous Djapu leader and artist from Caledon Bay, are shown with the work of Mamarika and others from Groote Eylandt, offering a rare opportunity to consider the compelling stylistic similarities of the little-known artworks from these two regions.
A forum titled Maydayin minytji: sacred body designs and Yolngu art and ceremony which featured Wanyubi Marika, Professor Howard Morphy, Lindy Allen and Joanna Bosse was held Saturday 30 November 2013. A recording of the forum can be viewed online here.
