Japanese artist “paints the Moon” with Vietnamese lacquer

Artworks applied Vietnamese lacquer by Japanese artist Saeko Ando is being introduced at the Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam-Japan diplomatic ties.

Saeko Ando is a Japanese artist who came to Vietnam in 1995 and soon considered Vietnam as her second home with her love for Vietnamese traditional lacquer.

For each of the artworks on showcase, Saeko chose a waka poem, hoping that it will better connect the artist with viewers.  

The exhibition is scheduled to run until October 1.
