It was an unexpected call I got from visual artist Miyen Gaston Lim of Morning Light last week. She asked me if I was interested to meet a Japanese artist based in Davao City who is holding his solo exhibition in her art gallery. Of course I was interested and excited to meet the Japanese artist as much as I was excited to see his Japanese painting exhibition. It’s not often that a Japanese artist gets to exhibit his art in Davao City after all. The 72-year-old Japanese artist is named Yoshio Hiramoto who launched his “Solo Exhibition for You” at Morning Light gallery located at the Lim Building (right beside the Davao Doctors Hospital) along Quirino Avenue. Hiramoto-san’s exhibition opened last March 16 and will end this coming Saturday, March 30.
