Japan and China
In 2001 there was exhibition in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam “Hotei Poetry and image in Japanese prints” These Japanese Surimono’s Ukiyo-e and Yakusha-e have inspired me to make some works in the last years. Also traditional Japanese ( Kabuki) and Chinese ( Peking) opera theatre from 18 and 19 century inspire me with their movements their costumes and colors .
