"Treasured" an exhibition of drawings by Kazumi Taketomo

“Treasured” is the past tense of treasure, which means to take great care of something because you love it or consider it very valuable. “This time, instead of my usual watercolours, I created these works using gel pen on washi paper. I am inspired by ordinary moments and objects in daily life—things that may seem unremarkable at first glance, but upon closer look, reveal a sparkling beauty like hidden treasures. I want to capture such moments in my drawings.” Kazumi Taketomo 2025
