Today, with the assistance of Nakanojo Biennale Organiser Sheba-san and artist Urabe-san, we moved a stuffed bear from a closed down school in the mountains of Shiba, Japan, to TSUMUJI in Nakanojo Japan. We are very grateful for their invaluable help in carrying and driving and for their general kindness.
Our furry friend certainly looks happier to be out of a stuffy Principal’s office and back under to afternoon sun. So far this has been the only bear encounter we have had in Gunma. Perhaps we should sing him the Animusimal bear song! More bear related reports in the coming weeks…
