In holding a small exhibition of my posters, I designed an invitation in form of a postcard. This was my second one-man show. The postcard caught the eye of Ikko Tanaka, the great master representing Japanese graphic design. He came to the exhibition and later wrote an article on IDEA magazine about my work. In his article, he wrote: “even in the smallest work talent can bloom” and “it has been a while since I met a newcomer whom I can properly call my equal comrade.” This small exhibition became my debut in Japan.
