Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence

Installation for “Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence” is in full swing 🌊 Artist @taikochandler is on site this week installing her work “Blue Surge,” an accumulation of many smaller, swirling prints, meticulously cut and affixed to the wall to create delicate, pulsing, water-like forms. Born and raised in Nagano, Japan, Chandler recalls childhood memories of the natural world and her frequent visits to a #Hokusai museum. These recollections inform the shapes, colors, and sensations that appear

The work of Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), one of Japan’s most popular artists.

Bucketlist ryokan. Everytime i come to Japan, i always wanna stay at a ryokan for at least a night. It’s more than a hotel or a place to sleep. It’s about the entire experience. Most ryokans are in secluded place so once you’re there, tou don’t really leave since all meals are served there. So this gives me opportunities to be able to really relax. I really enjoyed my stay at this ryokan with my own private onsen! If i can afford it, i’ll only wanna stay in ryokans with my own private hot spring
