ARTEXPO BRUXELLES 2026
Notice
In light of the riots in Paris, the organizers of Art Expo Paris 2026 have decided to hold the event only today, Friday, October 23, and to cancel the sessions scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. This decision was made due to concerns regarding safety and the anticipated sharp decline in attendance.
Consequently, the art team I belong to has decided to withdraw from the exhibition entirely; therefore, my work will no longer be on display in Paris. Instead, it has been confirmed that we will participate in Art Salon London, taking place in April 2027. I look forward to seeing you all in London.🍀

Republishing
A book of German haiku that I translated into Japanese—originally released in 2025—is set to be republished around October 2026. In addition to the existing German, Japanese, English, and Spanish content, translations in Italian and French will be added. While the core content remains largely unchanged, the original haiku will be presented in an even wider range of languages. The book also features two Japanese-style paintings created by me.
