Biography
Biography
Fugo's Flying Frying Pan was published in book form in September 1997 by Shazow Ltd., Tokyo. The collection as published has no text, but a separate insert is included with a short essay by Toshiharu Ito, professor of art history at Tama University of Art (Japanese, with an English translation by Colin Talcroft) and commentary in English by cultural historian Steven Watson (translated into Japanese, translation uncredited), as well as short biographies of Fugo, Ito, and Watson (in Japanese and English translation). Fugo's introspective and sometimes highly abstracted series '暗転' ('Anten', or 'BLACKOUT' in English), was made during his travels to India, Nepal, and elsewhere during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, was exhibited at Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery, New York, March 8-April 14, 2018.
