By the way....
I lost a chance to go back to Japan this summer.
I don't blame anyone because I have had real good opportunity in Houston and New Mexico this summer. I believe I made right decision.
Anyway, August 15th is the day when World War 2 ended in 1945.
Coincidently, we have a tradition to invite the deceased a couple days before August 15th.
This tradition started way back in the History like a couple centuries ago.
Regular Japanese family and cousines gather oldest brother's house to worship for the deceased.
This is like a Mexican tradition to invite the dead, you know, El Dia de Muertos.... this should be correct in Spanish, right?
So, we also have similar custom like that in Japan.
Could you imagine Japanese regular families in 1945 just before the end of the war. They were middle of this period. I have never thought about this until a couple days ago.
Since I have been living in Houston for 3 years, my tie to my own culture weakened and almost forget my significant cultural background.
I am glad to choose this project to make happend this time. I didn't think about this when I sent my proposal to the Diverseworks. Thank you for Diverseworks's Staff for giving me a wonderful opportunity for me to think about my ancesters and my cultural background, seriously.

I like this
August 9th, Exposing silkscreenThis is only thing that I can focus on in my own studio space, like this exposing silkscreen and shooting some photos.
I usually do this or shooting images around midnight till two in the morning.
My own studio space
August 9th, My own SpaceSometimes I feel more comfortable to work in this space, though I don't feel making anything most of time here.
So.....little bit more progress at the studio space
August 6th, the WallFinally, little more actual progress
I am always like this....
Disko Ball
