Yumiko Kojo

To all the dragons that are born anew in every moment and are ever-present with us.

This December, I will be holding solo exhibitions in Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo.

I will exhibit my pencil drawing of a dragon on a 172cm×345cm byobu(folding screen), covered with 160 tanzaku(strips of paper), that was exhibited in the UK last summer.

In addition, there will be 20 small drawings on display. All of the works are drawn on Mino washi (Mino Japanese paper), which is crafted using traditional techniques in Mino city.

Memories of the days spent playing with dragons flow and circulate throughout the world, as their breath and my heartbeat.

Drawings created with the impressions I carry deep within my eyelids,reflecting those memories, will be unveiled.

May the stories woven by each of you at the exhibition resonate around the world.

The venues are traditional Japanese buildings.As it may be difficult to adequately warm the rooms, please be sure to bundle up warmly.

I am looking forward to welcoming you.
