Upcoming Two Solo Exhibitions in Peru

Some of you who have been to my artist talks recently may know that I have a wish to show my work including the installation "A Thread X A Thread" in different parts of the world. Now, I am thrilled to announce I am going to have two solo exhibitions in Peru this summer! 

Here are the two locations for the exhibitions.

Museo Convento de Santo Domingo - Qorikancha in Cusco, Peru - in the room: Bartolomé de las Casas

Qorikancha is the most important temple in the historic Inca Empire, and blended with the Seventeenth-century Santo Domingo Convent. It is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Cusco.
Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés is the cultural center celebrating Peruvian-Japanese(Nikkei) heritage in the communiy of 200,000+. 

Both places are unique and significant.  I am really looking forward to the shows! I am also considering in participating other art-related activities, too. I will provide more details as the date approaches.


最近の私のアーティスト・トークにいらした方の中には、私のインスタレーション「A Thread X A Thread」を含める作品を世界の色々な場所で展示したいという願いがあることをご存知の方もいらっしゃるかもしれません。この夏、ペルーで2つの個展を開催することになりました!

展示の場所はこちらの二ヶ所です。

クスコ Museo Convento de Santo Domingo - Qorikancha in Cusco, Peru - in the room: Bartolomé de las Casas
リマ Galleria de arte Ryoichi Jinnai, Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés, Lima, Peru

コリカンチャはインカ帝国で最も重要な歴史的な寺院で、17世紀のサント・ドミンゴ修道院と融合し、クスコの中でも特に多くの観光客の訪れる場所です。
ペルー日本文化センター(Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés)は、20万人以上のコミュニティであるペルーと日本(日系)の遺産を祝う文化センターです。

2つともユニークで重要な場所で、すごく楽しみです。また他にもアート関連のアクティビティーをすることを考えています。詳しいことは後日お知らせします。

Algunos de ustedes que han estado en mis charlas de artista recientemente pueden saber que tengo el deseo de mostrar mi trabajo incluyendo la instalación «Un Hilo X Un Hilo» en diferentes partes del mundo. ¡Ahora, estoy encantada de anunciar que voy a tener dos exposiciones individuales en Perú este verano! 

Aquí están los dos lugares para la exposición.

Museo Convento de Santo Domingo - Qorikancha in Cusco, Peru - En la sala: Bartolomé de las Casas 
Galleria de arte Ryoichi Jinnai, Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés, Lima, Peru

Qorikancha es el templo más importante del histórico Imperio Inca, y ahora se mezcla con el Convento de Santo Domingo del siglo XVII. Es uno de los lugares más visitados de Cusco.
El Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés es el centro cultural que celebra la herencia peruano-japonesa (nikkei) en una comunidad de más de 200.000 habitantes. 

Ambos lugares son únicos y significativos.  Espero con impaciencia las exposiciones. También estoy pensando en participar en otras actividades relacionadas con el arte. Más adelante daré más detalles.

Recent Sold Paintings from "Sojourning" Series

As the end of the year approaches, I look back on this year and think about the many things for which I am grateful. I want to especially note that around the fall, several of my paintings from my "Sojourning" Series found their new home.  

I am very excited and I would like to thank all who have purchased them.  I sincerely pray that my paintings will bring blessings to each of their new home.

Here are these paintings.  Before sending them off to their new home and saying good-bye, I took many close-up pictures and pictures of them with myself.


年の瀬が近づき、一年を振り返りつつ、今年も色々感謝なことがあったなぁ...、と思わされています。特に秋ごろ、Sojourningシリーズの絵がいくつか一挙に新しい家を見つけたことを特筆したいと思います。

本当に嬉しいことで、お買い求め下さった方々に、心からお礼を申し上げます。またそれぞれの新しい家に、私の絵が祝福をもたらすことを祈っています。

これらがそれらの絵になります。新しい家に送り出す前に、多くのクローズアップした写真や自分と一緒に写っているを撮りました。
