#16 Finding Joy in the World of Paintings: From Modern Art to Art Galleries - My Latest Interview with Ayaka Wada（3/3）

2015.01.07

Ayaka says that she wants to become a curator one day, and we even spoke to one, Mr. Akira Watanabe, when we went to Kunisada Utagawa exhibition at the Ōta Memorial Museum of Art in Harajuku to gather info for Ayaka’s article, “Ayaka Wada (ANGERME) presents “Ukiyo-e,” which is published regularly on asianbeat.

“When you speak with a professional you develop new knowledge and insight for looking at paintings – it’s really fun.
I look up to all the curators out there. I too want to become a curator one day, so I really have to keep up with my art history studies!”
(Quote from “Ukiyo-e” Vol.07 Kunisada Utagawa “Late Summer on the Sumida River.” [Japanese Version])

▲Gathering info at the Ōta Memorial Museum of Art.

I hope that Ayaka gets her curator’s qualification and one day we’re able to go together to Holland or France and do a report on the art museums there. Don't forget to check out the latest article in Ayaka's series, "Ayaka Wada (ANGERME) presents "Ukiyo-e,”" up now.
