Our show at the Inoue Gallery in the Ginza needed to be dismantled after a few days, the customary length of art exhibitions in Japan. Machiko Kitayama and some of the other Japanese artists had volunteered. While they focused on this, I went sight seeing with friends in Tokyo. Machiko and I agreed to meet again after the artwork was back in boxes. I arrived at the gallery early and witnessed such cooperation among the Japanese artists as they quietly matched artworks with packaging . Then an interesting thing happened. Mrs. Inoue, Owner, and the artists formed a circle to say good bye to each other and to this shared experience. My friend and another artist broke open the circle and reached out their hands to me.
