Preview: Kokeshi Show @ Subtext (11.3.07)

Here's a loaded exclusive preview of the  Kokeshi show opening on  Saturday, November 3rd, 2007  @ Subtext in San Diego. The show falls on and celebrates Bunka No Hi (Japan's culture day)  with  wooden Kokeshi dolls from an international group of 75 artists hailing from 13 countries. Traditionally  created as souvenirs for tourists visting Japan's hot springs, Kokeshi Dolls will now serve as fresh canvases for some of the world's top young artists and illustrators as selected by  curator Christina Conway.

Enjoy these pieces by Colorblok, Edwin Ushiro, Luke Feldman, Matias Vigliano, Tessar Lo, and Tiffany Liu. Inspired? You can create your own custom  by purchasing a  5.5" blank  wood Kokeshi.   If you can, plan to be at the opening on the 3rd.
