Yuko Sekiguchi
Watercolour Artist
Her paintings have now transformed into a search about herself.
At the moment her main interest is “Water” and more specifically
the “Sea”. Being raised near the coast of the Pacific Ocean, it
is a subject naturally close to her heart and her pictures
reflect her inner feelings and memories of sounds and smells
she’s experienced growing up.

J-CultureCon is a gathering of part-time anime and manga lovers,
Otaku, kit builders, figure aficionados, artiest and those just
curious enough to take those first steps outside their bedroom
into the world of Japan. Otaku
from around the country, this is an opportunity to attend a
gathering that will provide education, support self-expression,
foster new friendships, and renew old acquaintances! It is our
goal to encourage everyone interested in Japan and anime
to unite as a community and grow as a result. Whether you are new
to it all or a skilled Otaku, there will
be something for you! |
