It´s been 30 years since the 1993 Hanamaki Art Colony. That journey and time with Mr Aso still resonates today. Thank you to Kaji Aso and all his friends and artists for supporting the Kaji Aso Studio all these years. He is missed. Image is of Mr Aso at Hanamaki station.

Mr. Aso came to Boston on March 10th, 1967. He passed on March 11, 2006. On March 10, 2020 and March 11, 2020 the tree dedicated to him (a Japanese mountain cherry in Boston's Public Garden) is blooming. There is a haiku underneath by Mr. Aso that says :
Day is over
Yet still cherry petals
Are flying

On the back of fish,
Light fragments
Spring Water
- by Kaji Aso
