It was an important milestone to open and own an art gallery in the heart of Kathmandu.

Gaunle Deurali is a populat newsletter of Tansen, Palpa in Nepal- I was featured in this newsletter in 2007


Palpa is located west of Kathmandu. I visited Palpa with Ms. Suzuki Masako. Later I organized an art workshop in this remote area school.
