“結 MUSUBU” Mother-Daughter Exhibition





I would like to let you know details of Mother-Daughter Exhibition. It’s a busy season, but please set a schedule to visit us.

Title of the exhibition: “結 MUSUBU” Mother-Daughter Exhibition by Hisako Shinozaki and Miki Otake

Period: August 12 (Tue) – 17 (Sun), 2008
10:00 – 18:00 (-17:00 on the final day)

Venue: Gallery 1, Elgala Hall, 7th floor
1-4-2, Tenjin, Fukuoka
phone: 092-711-5017

Content: About 40 works of Hisako’s ink painting and Miki’s calligraphy

Mother-Daughter Exhibition is held on “Obon”, when my mother who passed away 7 years ago will come back again this year. My mother has left ink painting, and I live in the world of calligraphy. While organizing works, now I realize – many deep and strong things that connected me and my mother. Mother-Daughter Exhibition has been named “結 MUSUBU”.

I am looking forward to seeing you at the venue☆

Busy, busy, busy



For Mother-Daughter Exhibition of my dream, I keep thinking and keep imagining, and only time passes by. In the meantime, I don't have a brush. Thinking about this and that…
My mind is very confused because of setting up the exhibition which appears to be the first and last for my mother.
Hmmmmm!!
I have just dropped light ink from heights of 2 meters, and now I am waiting for it to get dry. Whether the ink will spread well….I am patiently waiting…with pounding hearts.

Meanwhile, a picture from the awarding ceremony at “Mainichi Women’s Calligraphy Exhibition” has been finished (but…it’s out of focus). Not-Otake-like = I attended in a feminine pink suit in a pure and beautiful manner.
Although I don’t get nervous at all and I didn't get nervous, my mouth was dry when I read testimonials. (Could it be that I am timid?) Anyway, having carried out an important duty without any trouble, now I am relieved.

Japan is in the midst of the rainy season and every day is gloomy. This is the season that I don’t like most, but I shouldn’t feel that way this year. To create a collection of works in commemoration of Mother-Daughter Exhibition, I am in a hurry to writing up.
I am telling myself “fight!”

I want to be more novel than anybody


Today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today.

I always hope to become a brand-new me everyday, newer than anyone else.


Can you imagine me (and yourself) in ten years or twenty years from now?
