Any place to exhibit art work?

So I'm an artist from America currently living in Japan. When I lived there I would often exhibit art in local cafe's or community art shows. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any opportunities like this here in Japan? Preferably in the Tohoku region since I live near Aomori.

    This cafe in Aomori looks like it might do something like that. If not, if it's anywhere near you, it might a place where you can makes some inquiries .. http://www.ai-sign.com/aiplus@/aiplustop.html I guess your local city office could also be a place to ask. I know that the city office where I live has a gallery space where they showcase different (presumably local) artists / works. I seem to remember someone on here blogging about an arts & crafts bazaar where they were able to exhibit / show some of their work, although I think that was in the Nagoya area, but it shows that these opportunities do exist in Japan.

    I second the idea of contacting your local city or town office. Our local town office also displays art work and they usually have information of upcoming art exhibitions. I would also suggest getting networking with other artists through the likes of Facebook. I know there is a group "artists in Japan" on Facebook. You might find somewhere in your area through there who might have some suggestions for you. Good luck!

    I had a friend who exhibited her art in local community centre hall. You could check for something like that in your area.

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.

My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!
