Kazuaki Tanahashi

Had a talk with scholar and artist Kaz today and some of it will surely end up in a podcast soon. Just checked out his uke page and his own page and many others all over. Great scholar with his Dogen translations. Great artist with his rainbow calligraphy. I said he had fully functioning both sides of the brain and he said that's because he's crazy - and then he added, that I'm crazy - and that's why we became friends right awa when he showed up back a few decades ago.

Check out his exhibition at National Gallery of Modern Art Bangalore, India.
