International Exhibition of Japanese Paintings – A Selection of Works by Contemporary World Artists
I am pleased to share the exciting news that my beloved, award-winning penguin, ‘Oi, mate!’ is going on a relaxing group holiday, to the Japanese Embassy’s cultural centre in Bern, Switzerland! If you are in the area between 7 May and 23 June 2026, you are more than welcome to visit this joint exhibition organised by the wonderful Margot Olejniczak.
Personally, I cannot wait to meet her, I am also really excited to maybe meet and see the works of artists (including Margot’s sensei, Kobayashi Tohun’s and his wife’s, Harumi Tohsei’s paintings) I may know by name but never had a chance to meet in person.
