"My Birthday Today"
This photograph was taken in front of my house in Tuskishima 月島, Tokyo on the neighborhood Sumiyoshi Shrine Festival in the summer 1952, 72 years ago. The front door looks different now, but I have live there for the last two months, and it brought me back the good memories of my childhood.

Dear Yoshi,

Greetings from the Rothko exhibition in Oslo. I thought I would share this particularly beautiful wall of Nishio mounts. Very successful! Hope all is well.

My best, Christopher

On March 27, 2024, I was invited to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts to give a speech on our discovery of this charcoal drawing Of the Horse and 150 ink drawings from inside of his folding screen. Obata was an immigrant to the US all the way from Japan all by himself at the age of 18 years old in 1903, and taught at UC Barkly in 1930s, and then sent to the Topaz Internment Camp during the war. Those drawings were used to build up the inside of his folding screen, and people have never seen them until we discovered and recovered by our conservation efforts. The same topic will be presented at the American Institute For Conservation Annual Conference in May.

Croquis on paper

"Croquis" is a French word for quick drawing to capture the moments usually within 30 seconds. I did lots of those croquis during my art college in Tokyo. I recently discovered them at my old house.

It was the last day of Xun-cheng Yan's internship at the Nishio Conservation Studio. I took him to a Japanee restaurant to celebrate his completion of his internship. Xun spent 4 months studying at Nishio Conservation Studio for his third year internship program. He will write thesis, and hopefully obtain his Master Degree in Conservation. We have been having interns from all over the world for the last 25 years. He left for Taiwan this morning. I Wish him good luck for his future conservation profession.
