Tori

In 2019 I lived in China, where I was working as a university teacher. I was constantly struck by the architecture and nature of the country. During my Chinese New Years vacations I was going to travel to South Korea and Japan, and that is exactly when covid hit. I got to visit South Korea, which is also stunning, but never made it to Japan. Out of nostalgia for the place I have never visited I painting this Japanese Tori gate.
