Bread Man

Celest my BFF was in Japan last weekend & again without me. I was working so couldn't join her in Japan !!!!! She bump into a  a group of people with 3 to 6 baguettes wrapped around their face at Onomichi Station in Hiroshima, Japan. They paraded down the street, through the city’s shopping district chanting “We are Bread Men. We are not human” in Japanese and English ....lol...

 It was a performance art piece by 71-year old Japanese artist Tatsumi Orimoto called “Bread Man” and has been staged around the world over 200 times.

Around 1991 a defining moment for Orimoto occurred when he learned that in the Bible ‘bread means body.’ That’s what gave him the idea for Bread Man. He staged Bread Man in Turkey, Nepal, Germany, London and he’s been chased by homeless people in New York and thrown out of a restaurant in Moscow for wasting food. But nothing has stopped him from wrapping at least 6 baguettes around his head in various configurations and exploring the world, challenging people to accept him.

 Oh why am I not there, it'll be so fun. I seriously must work less!!! FYI, Celest did not join in the fun, no way she's going to wrap baguettes around her face!
