"Kato"(Takahiko)has arrived safely. And what an eerie, mysterious, almost forbidding work it is! It seems as if it has a secret that may not be easy to solve. Perhaps it would be better this way. I just hope that familiarity won't dull the wonder I feel. Of all the non-traditional form artists I have seen at your e-gallery, Kato (Takahiko) impresses me the most. Thank you Mark
