Finished installing my "tear mirror" pieces at NO-MA, Shiga, Japan
They put me into a beautiful storehouse space within a historical building.
Very different atmosphere from any other exhibitions that I had in my life.

After working hard, my sweet friends took me to an incredible restaurant called
The chef from California served (my crazy) allergy-free dishes!
All handmade, great selection of ingredients that are carefully crafted.
Having delicious food sharing with best people without worrying about allergy means a lot to me in my life.
Arigato!!

Almost ready for heading to Kobe & Shiga.
Today's humidity is 96% in Tokyo... Hope tomorrow will be drier to keep my work safe.  See you Tokyo!



Some photos from last few weeks.

Quite excited participating in an exhibition from next week at NO-MA in Shiga: a beautiful Japanese old house turned into a museum.
Humidity has been super high for last few days that I ruined many of my work for this exhibition... Now I can see how Japanese crafts have been influenced a lot by the weather and the season. The weather forecast saying that tomorrow will be dry and sunny :) Need to do more work work work...

This was my first visit to Izu. The Ryokan we stayed in was maybe the best Ryokan I have stayed in my life. Nothing too luxurious, nothing too much or less. Just about right for everything.  What I discover the first time during this trip was the beauty of mountain sakura. It's rather subtle and abstract. I would love to come back again next year.
