Thank you to the Asian Arts Museum for hosting and participating in Ken Hamazaki’s “Red Tea Ceremony – YOU ARE GOD” last Saturday 9/11. There will be two more performances at SUPERFROG Gallery from 3-5pm on Sat. Sept. 18th & 2-4pm on Sun. Sept. 19th during his exhibition that opens during J-Pop Summit. Please RSVP for “GRATEFUL RED” opening Friday, Sept. 17th 6 – 9pm.

Today, there was a man supposedly in his mid-20’s coming into the gallery, taking his time to observe and enjoy the exhibition.  He was wearing an earring with a little feather; so, I had an impression from him that he could be an animal lover as he walked in.  Although I would usually have some conversations with visitors who show their interests in the exhibition, I dared to give him a space so he could enjoy.  I changed the music to something calmer and less distracting, and paid extra attention not to make noise.  He seemed to be content with the experience, and left the room with a slightly embarrassed look. (He may have thought that he may have appeared odd to me for coming in by himself and contemplating on bunch of stuffed animal…)

He wasn’t the audience whom I had interactions with the most; nonetheless, he made my day.
