A few years ago, while I was in the midst of relocating from Tokyo to Fukuoka, I had the privilege of exhibiting at the Kirie of the World in Japan Exhibition at the Fujikawa Kirie Art Museum. One of the artists represented there was the wonderful Hina Aoyama. Not only is Hina an amazingly talented paper cutter, she is also a really impressive, charismatic person. If you ever have the chance to talk to her, don't you dare be shy.
Ms. Aoyama has invited me, along with five other cut paper artists to exhibit with her at the Ichibata Department Store, Matsue Branch from December 27th until January 12th.
The artwork will range from the impossibly small and delicate to the colorful and bold. It's an exhibition not to miss. I've even got a few pieces in the show that have never been exhibited before (20 pieces total, so it's gonna be a big show).
Which reminds me: If you've never been to Japan, now is a great time to come. Sure, the weather isn't as warm as it could be and the cherry blossoms won't blossom for a few months, but the Yen is really weak right now. Coming from overseas has never been more economical (I can't vouch for airfare prices).
As much as I'd like to attend the exhibition, Matsue is a pretty good trek from Fukuoka. If anything changes, I'll be sure to blog about it.
