In New York, the Guggenheim goes Gutai
By now, the looks, character and history of Gutai, the post-World War II Japanese art movement born in 1954 in Ashiya, between Osaka and Kobe, are familiar to regular viewers of modern-art exhibitions in Japan. Last summer's "Gutai: The Spirit of an Era," a survey of the movement's evolution and its participants' diverse accomplishments, which was shown at the National Art Center, Tokyo, was the largest presentation of its kind to date in Japan. Early last year, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, also included some superb Gutai works in a show of abstract paintings; in 2011, it presented a solo exhibition of founding Gutai member Atsuko Tanaka's works.

Amami Oshima: Take a trip to the cloud forest of the imagination
Despite the environmental mistakes of the postwar decades, the violation of a once pristine landscape, a recent trip to Amami Oshima, gave very real cause for hope. Some regions have always, it seems, been in good shape. Flying over the island's green, volcanic hills, I felt as if I were gazing down upon an eastern Camelot.

Omiyage ritual has been difficult
Regarding Kris Kosaka's Aug. 15 article, " Surviving a Japanese summer boils down to the art of omiyage": As the wife of a Japanese man since 1974 and as a Paris resident, I enjoyed reading about the "omiyage pleasure-nightmare." Since 1974 I have bought thousands of travel gifts for my husband's visits to Japan. I have also received many precious or original presents from family, friends, business partners and so on.
