- Why did you create this work?
Gochiso is a gastronomic festival that has been taking place since 2017, whose objective is to allow more to be known about Japanese history and culture.
This Japanese word translates as delicacy or tasty food. But for the Nikkei (descendants of Japanese) it is much more than that, saying Gochiso is the same as saying party, celebration, moment to share with family and friends.
- How were your illustrations used?
