Kentaro Chiba wrote a great review of my work. It was great to meet him at my show at Art Lab Tokyo/A.S.K.
I met so many wonderful people! Fellow artists, collectors of my work, new friends.
Kamiyama Appreciation Post.
I had a wonderful two week residency in Kamiyama! Seeing good friends again, painting in the 下分アトリエ(old Shoe Factory), visiting my favorite places… I will always come back to Kamiyama!

Favorite waterfall Amagoi no Taki (雨乞いの滝) & favorite temple Higanji (悲願時). I’ve been to Amagoi hundreds of times (not even exaggeration) and Higanji a lot.
It was great to have so many good friends at the Open Studio! Reminiscing about past shows and looking at photos from 15 years ago when I came back to Kamiyama. They can’t get rid of me!

Artwork from my residency in Kamiyama. Ink paintings of my favorite waterfall Amagoi no Taki (雨乞いの滝) and a persimmon of course. So great to be back in my favorite town in my old studio building!

It’s also so much easier to get great supplies here, especially from Awagami Paper Factory!
