I painted my name by calligraphy on the gallery's wall.
There is a lithogragh studio at the back of corridor. On the second floor, screen printing and intaglio printing studio are there. GAU will be constructed next autumn, then it will be going to renewal open as CBKU next summer. The series of Arcimboldo are corridor side. Right side is gallery space.
In the show case, I put the plate of 「water tower」. And I explained how to make it by some process. I also put some tools of the intaglio printing.
Left side big work is made in Japan. Every small works（１５ｃｍ×10cm), 13 works were made in GAU.

At the opening party, many Dutch people came to join it.

At first, Ineke talked about this show, and Dodog followed her.

I prepared Sushi and Oinari for this party from yesterday.

I hope Dutch visitors enjoy my Sushi and Japanese Sake.

Michael gave a speach about my works. He is a super intelligentsia about the history of art at Denharg academy. Unfortunately, I could not understand his explanation enough.

By the way, I am often thinking about the mean of I am a Japanese. Especially in the foreign country. And Dutch people often asked me to explain where we can find the Japanese things in my work. Of course it is a nonsence question, but I can understand what they mean. Because I also asked the foreign people about their origin.

I feel strongly that I am a Japanese. Sometimes I feel so like a sadness. I am shy, modest, polite and weak. But I am not interested in Ukiyoe. And I never draw the Mt. Fiji.

I love van Eyck.
