I’m excited to announce the first of several exhibitions of my work that will be taking place in Fukui and Ishikawa Prefectures this year.

The first one coming up is an exhibition at Rennyo Shonin Memorial, in Awara City. This location is exciting both as a historical site and as the location of a famous yokai story known as the yōme odoshi nikutsuki men, in which a woman puts on a demon mask and it fuses with her flesh, turning her into an oni.

My work will be exhibited side by side with some amazing local relics, including the mask itself, as well as several famous ghost scrolls and other ghost and yokai-themed artworks. It is such an honor to have my own work shown side by side with such famous and historic works as these.

The exhibition takes place from June 18 through September 15, so if you’re in Fukui during that time please stop by and see the exhibition!
