They may be diverse in style, theme and personality, but what these artists have in common is a fierce devotion to the meticulous work ethic of the solo painter-a welcome change for a scene defined for over a decade by the brand-conscious pop art of Takashi Murakami (who ironically studied for a nihonga doctorate himself...
...rule, how the territory deals with these minor crises - from the demolition of local markets to make way for mega-malls to the increasing influx of refugees from Africa and Asia - is as important as how it grapples with the biggest questions of democratic change.

The other concrete need is for the entire University community to recognize that the world is not color-blind, and that a careful, self-conscious, and hyper-cautious level of procedural circumspection is sometimes necessary in order to guarantee fairness to those who “fit the description.” However, institutional action is but a potential catalyst to the social change that is really needed.
