Not sure where else to post this but a Japanese friend of mine’s wife has an art exhibition starting soon at Orange. If you can get to have a look do so.
It’s taken her 3 years to put together and she was taught by a very famous Japanese artist. @Kaito you may like this.

Iku: Invisible Connection
4 February – 19 March 2023
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible ~ Novalis
Iku was born in Japan and currently lives and works in Orange. Iku has always been captivated by shadows, comparing them to the beauty of the yin and yang. Closely observing shadows in her daily surrounds, the patterns and lines are evocatively reimagined through expressive strokes in sumi ink. In this flux between the real and the imagined she creates compositions that revel in the beauty of the everyday.
An Orange Regional Gallery exhibition.

Iku's art looks great, I really like the
concept behind her work. Orange
is a bit of a journey for me to go and
see her work unfortunately though

Yeah me too.
But anyone out that way should get there and support a local artist.
I know her husband, he is battling cancer at the RNS hospital and he has told her to stay in Orange and continue on with the exhibition as she has been working on it for 3 years. He has had many complications too, but knows how much work his wife has put into it. His name is Fuji and he is a quality human being.

They have this ethic behind them about work, life, cleanliness, human connection, etc. It’s very Japanese.
One day early in our relationship we are talking about this slovenly oath of a man, and Fuji starts talking about how disgustingly unclean this bloke is, and how clean in Oz is not clean in Japan, and realises that he is talking to me an Ozzy. He starts apologising, so sorry, so sorry, and I say to him it’s fine mate I understand, not all Ozzie’s are like that and it makes me ashamed when other Ozzies are. I am proud to say that he sees me as a good Ozzy man and a friend.
He is 20 years older than me and has broken English. He apologises for his English sometimes, but I say to him don’t worry just do your best, it is both our responsibility to break that communication barrier. As I said he is a quality human.
