A faint fragrance seems to waft from the delicate pale pink plum blossoms. Firewood is still piled up in front of the thatched roof house, hinting at the harshness of the continuing cold, but the snow has melted, revealing the lush green ground. The footsteps of spring can certainly be heard in the village. --------------------- ▼Seiji Sano ============ 1959: Born in Shizuoka Prefecture 1984: Started printmaking under Masao Ido 1995: First solo exhibition at Kameyama Gallery in Shizuoka 1998: Published collection "Yearning for Hometown" 2002: Exhibition of original prints at Shinjuku Takashimaya 2004: Works added to collection at Los Angeles Cowley Art Museum Exhibited at CWAJ Contemporary Print Exhibition 2006: Added to collection of Library of Congress 2009: Opened studio in Tenryu, Shizuoka Prefecture ============= ☆★☆★☆★About Shipping☆★☆★☆★ *** IMPORTANT*** Due to changes in tariffs, shipping from Japan to the US has currently been suspended.
