The event is in celebration the 40th anniversary of Vietnam – Japan diplomatic ties and the Vietnam – Japan Friendship Year 2013.
Toba Mika came to Vietnam in 1994, after travelling through other South Asian countries. In Vietnam, she discovered an eventful life, interesting contradictions and flexible moves that she did not see in a developed country like Japan. Since then Vietnam has become the subject of her works.
All paintings by Toba Mika use a traditional Japanese dyeing technique called Katazome. Katazome uses a resistant paste applied through a stencil.
The exhibition will display 31 paintings of Vietnam’s cities and cultural and historical heritage sites such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hoi An.
Born in Aichi Prefecture. Graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts (M.A.) She has brought in “Katazome”, one of the very traditional dyeing methods in Japan, to the world of painting, and has created new contemporary art. She has won 19 prizes including “Kyoto Arts New Artist Prize” and “Urban Culture Incentive Award” in 2003./.
