The College Women's Association of Japan is holding its 51st Annual Print Show Oct. 20 to 22 at the Tokyo American Club. As well as exhibiting 211 new prints, the show features demonstrations, activities and lectures, and an associate show focusing on two young prize-winning women.
All the events are free and open to the public. Tetsuya Noda, exhibiting with CWAJ for the 35th time, is the cover artist for this year's catalog. He will sign posters of his own print and copies of the catalog on Oct. 21 and 22 at the Club.
Noda radiates calm happiness. He finds not only delight in the everyday, but also the subjects for his art. Thirty years ago he said that he had almost no time for his own work. "It's important to live first," he said, "to think what is art th rough everyday life. This is the only way I can do anything because that is I."
