Tonotsuka Eriko (殿塚絵里子展) Shomeido Gallery (松明堂ギャラリー) - (2010/04)

I was told about Tonotsuka Eriko's (殿塚絵里子展)upcoming exhibition (2010/04/03-18) at Shomeido Gallery (松明堂ギャラリー), so I thought I'd have a look at the gallery first, and - believe me - you wouldn't likely stumble into this one!  It's accessed via a reverse direction staircase mid-way back in a bookstore.  Even inside the store, and looking for a staircase down (I had been told it was in the basement), I couldn't find it until a shopkeeper pointed out the (almost) hidden stairs!

Once down there, though, I was pleased to see that it's a great exhibition space, and even has natural light filtering down from the rear corner, where a square shaft goes up to above-ground-level, where there are windows.

The promotional postcard above is for an upcoming show, so I haven't had a chance to see anything other than the card yet....

The last exhibit (2010/03/06-21), which I only had time to briefly see, but liked a lot, was of art by Okubo Soko (大久保草子):
