Hello Matsumoto fans,
How are you doing?

May has been a very busy month for me, but I had the chance to visit an exhibition at Shinano Gallery.
Shinano Gallery is a space next to an art shop on the main street in front of the station.

It frequently hosts exhibitions so it is likely that you will find one when you visit.

At the beginning of May I visited Aoi Neko’s exhibition.

She is a young artist who lives in Matsumoto.
She keeps a rescued cat who is the inspiration for her art and raises funds for cat shelters (she made a charity calendar as well)

Here are some pictures:

I bought a post card as souvenir, she drew that picture when she was 20 and was confused about the future but decided to feel hopeful.
Please check out her art online
