Drawings by Emily Atkinson

Ms. Atkinson is an artist and teacher originally from Austin, Texas, who has been living in Tokyo for over a year.   Her work has been shown in various galleries throughout Texas, and has spanned many media including sculpture, jewelry, electronic media, and installation.  

Her current pieces are Prismacolor on wood, focusing on items in need of repair.   The maps in the backgrounds anchor these objects in place – and aid in explaining the overall story.   Some of these objects literally need to be fixed; some of them are indicative of a bigger umbrella concept that necessitates change.   A few are very personal, and all of them have some link to Ms. Atkinson's life or travels.

These pieces will be on display in the bar area for the month of May, with an Opening Reception on Thursday, May the 1st, at 7:00 pm.  

***Fri./Sat. Night amazing buffet as always. ¥2,500pp (+tax = ¥2,650pp.) 7-10pm. Great for Birthday parties or other special occations!
