Saturday Night

One more day of my exhibition and I can change the space back into a studio and get back to painting.  Thought in the time off I have a couple new ideas I want to play around with.

First day

The end of the first day of my exhibition

Exhibition Starts today!

This year's exhibition starts today.  This year galleries in Yanaka will be serving tea.  Actually I always have tea, but it is a theme this year and different galleries are trying to out do each other with tea. I wanted to serve Yomugi tea, but it is getting hard to find.  We will start slowly on the tea.  Who knows what the coming days will bring?

save the Hanezawa garden

It is a historic site, built just after the great earthquake, lots of history and beauty.  Soon it will be another ugly apartment building in Hiro.

Ink Painting Classes begin!

We did not know if we would have enough students with the earthquake and the radiation and all, but we have 3 NZlanders and 1 Amer. For the first time the class was held at my studio..  Next class will probably shift to the international house again.

radioactive rice

The rice down wind of the Fukushima disasters is growing nicely.  My students asked me where this rice will be going.  Who will be eating it?  I have not found one person that trusts the food supply in Japan, inside or outside of the country. 

It is shocking what a modern developed country with a very powerful government will do.  And what they will not do.

I read today that  Fukushima rice is shipped and is in Tokyo stores and the government says it is OK.
