「列島」の絵画　「日本画」のレイトスタイル　by 北澤憲昭　. This out of print book finally arrived, after looking for it the past 14 months. Paintings of the Archipelago: Nihonga’s late style. Potential for #20InfluentialBooks list on #JapaneseArtHistory but I haven’t read it. A wonderful way to end the semester!

Grading Day Two 📃 It’s Sunday so not much can be accomplished but we are on a tight deadline here. This however, got me off to a great start. If anyone is near a Kaldi, grab this. It transforms your average toast into Kouign Amann. I wished I had bought more back with me here.
