This painting of Shinzō Abe and former Taiwanese president Lee Teng-Hui playing Go and drinking tea and sake together in Heaven will be shown at Taiwan's de facto embassy in Tokyo from Nov. 15 to Dec. 14 norway.postsen.com/trends/amp/1...
This absolute triumph of political art deserves much wider dissemination. When will it be available on a set of dessert plates?
The two mountains in the background are of course Mt. Fuji and Yu Shan, the two tallest mountains in Japan and Taiwan
Makes sense given Lee's affinity for Japan from the colonial days.
This almost reaches the level of Thomas Kinkade.
