A sad story.....

I'm one of the member of "group ITOHAN". We formed this artists group in 1968 and held art show once a year for 25 years. Then there were several reasons we couldn't have any shows at art gallery for 18 years.

In 2009, when we became 60 years old, we happily started showing our arts at the gallery again but every two years. I could participate to show mine in 2009 and 2011 but not this year, 2013. Some of my paintings are there at the gallery with other members but I couldn't make myself back to Japan.

The exhibition is from November 17th to 23rd, 2013. Yes, it's on now. I feel so sad for not be able to participate. Because I was in Japan almost 4 months so far this year to take care of my mother. I felt too tired and getting sick myself. So I had to give up going back so soon again.

I feel very SAD not being there with my friends but they called me from the gallery last two days. I felt so happy and I was at the art gallery with them. Thank you so much,my friends!!
