For yours truly, this past year has been a wild ride, a mixed bag, a roller coaster, and probably a few other metaphors.  The highs were lofty and joyous, the lows abyssal.  At some point I will likely share some of that, as it relates to artwork (doesn’t everything, on some level?), but most of it I’m still digesting.  So for now, I’ll offer a few tidbits about art in Japan.
