My mini lectures on Tibetan Buddhist art start tomorrow! and they’ll last the next 3 weekends.

- I will share stories, photos, and videos from my trip to the remote Mustang Kingdom in Nepal.

- We’ll listen to Tashi himself about why and how he became a Thangka artist.

- We’ll learn about the connection between San Francisco, Dianne Feinstein and Tashi Gurung.

- Learn how Thangkas have been made for the last several centuries.

- Learn about the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism through his work by analyzing The Wheel of Life, Mantra Mandala, Kalachakra Mandala, Path to Nirvana, and others.

We hear words such as karma, nirvana, reincarnation, samsara, and enlightenment often. But do we really understand them?

We’ll try to understand them in this talk through the beautiful works by Tashi.

In 1996, Hajime Namiki met Kappy Hendricks, one of the world's foremost authorities on contemporary Japanese prints.⁠
⁠
Recognizing Namiki's talent, Kappy organized annual solo exhibits for Namiki in her art gallery in Bethesda, Maryland. At Kappy's invitation, Hajime Namiki visited the United States several times. He was quite impressed by the magnificent trees in Minnesota.⁠
⁠
Kappy established the Hendricks Art Collection with one of the best selections of contemporary Japanese woodblock prints in the US. She was active in the art world until her death in 2016. ⁠
⁠
Primarily due to her efforts, several leading American museums recognized Namiki's art, including the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, the Art Institute of Chicago, Nancy Reagan's White House art collection, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Muskegon Museum of Art, and the Hewlett Packard Museum in Palo Alto.⁠

In 1853, American Commodore Matthew C. Perry forced Japan to open itself to the West. The idyllic life of the last three centuries changed overnight. Japan set itself on the course of rapid industrialization and Westernization.⁠
⁠
In 1915, Ginza, Tokyo publisher Watanabe Shozaburo started promoting and nurturing the Shin-Hanga (meaning "new woodcut prints") movement. ⁠
⁠
The Shin-Hanga art movement truly reflected the 1920-40s Japan. On the one hand, Shin-hanga artists adopted many Western art traditions and materials (just like Imperial Japan at the time). On the other, Shin-hanga also evoked nostalgia for Japan's glorious past (just like Imperial Japan).⁠

Hajime Namiki’s process is a meticulous, solo endeavor that strictly adheres to the Sōsaku-hanga philosophy of self-drawn, self-carved, and self-printed.

Drawing on his background as a master sculptor, he utilizes exceptionally hard cherry wood blocks, which allow him to carve the razor-sharp, intricate details seen in his tree branches—a level of precision rarely achieved by traditional watercolor printers.

His most distinctive technical innovation is the use of oil-based pigments rather than the traditional water-based inks, providing a richer, more saturated color palette that necessitates a rapid, high-energy printing pace before the pigments dry.

To achieve his signature luminosity, he applies an oil-based base layer to which he manually adheres delicate sheets of 24-carat gold or silver leaf, carefully blocking out the central subject so the metallic sheen radiates only from the background.⁠
