Fumiyo Yoshikawa April Events: SF Art Fair and Kala Auction

I will be presented by Arc Gallery at the SF Art Fair this year, and it would be a true pleasure to welcome you there.

For this fair, I will be presenting two diptychs composed of Tsunagu 1–2 and Tsunagu 3–4, from my ongoing series “Tsunagu – Threads of Continuance.”

These works reflect a quiet sense of connection—how something is carried forward, transformed, and continues across time.

Created with traditional Nihonga materials—sumi ink, mineral pigments, and touches of pure gold—each piece is presented in a hanging scroll format, inviting a contemplative and intimate viewing experience.

Please visit my website for more information about my work featured in Kala Auction.

“In autumn, the evenings are most moving…” So wrote Sei Shōnagon in The Pillow Book a thousand years ago. Her tender eye for sunset, birds in flight, and the hush of the wind still speaks to us today—and even echoes in American poetry.

JCCCNC Beginners Workshop 

風姿 Fūshi aka Yoshikawa, Fumiyo

Offered as part of the ongoing sumi-e workshop series at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC), Sumi-e Brush Painting Autumn Workshop: Chrysanthemum is the third session in a yearlong series themed around the Four Gentlemen—orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum. This two-hour workshop serves as an introduction to Japanese ink painting (sumi-e), focusing on cultivating the essential mindset and learning fundamental brush techniques. Participants will explore the expressive beauty of the chrysanthemum—an autumn motif symbolizing elegance and perseverance—while experiencing the meditative spirit and harmony of ink, brush, and paper.
