Noguchi

I was first introduced to Isamu Noguchi by a friend who had one of his infamous coffee tables. Upon seeing it, I loved it and have wanted to have one ever since. I have followed his career and life as a sculpter, furniture maker and of course master of light. I did not know...

-As a resident of New York, he could have escaped the internment forced on Japanese Americans on the West Coast. In solidarity with them, however, he chose to join them in the camps for seven months in 1942.-

As a Japanese American, I feel even more of a kinship to the great man.
