Living in Japan these past years has brought me much happiness. I have acquired a mental clarity and focus that has greatly benefited my work, all thanks to this place. Although fairly stress free, for most immigrants in Japan there are always visa issues looming. This weighs heavy on me – building a life in a place that can at any moment ask me to leave. With the new Takaichi government, it seems that my time has come, and my plans of the past 10 years have been foiled due to the new Visa regulations. While it is now unlikely that I will be able to stay, I want to hold an exhibition in the place that has brought me much peace. Exhibiting the work of these artists and friends, I want to show that you can have a meaningful connection to a place and its culture while being globally aware. This show is dedicated to everyone who believes in open minds, open hearts, and open borders.

ACCESS

This is an outdoor exhibition. The front rooms of the kominka will display the artists books.

We recommend visiting on a clear day for the intended experience, but in case of rain, the front rooms in the kominka will be used to display some of the artworks. 

Part of the exhibition is in areas of the garden that are un-manicured. We recommend wearing boots or rain boots due to the rough terrain, insects, and snakes.

Unfortunately, the Kominka is not wheelchair accessible, and part of the garden is very difficult to access by wheelchair. The closest public restroom is located at the Hase Yamazaki.

Hase 420, Kamikawa, Hyogo, Japan

The property is 1 km from Hase JR station.
