red Mercedes is Japan’s most internationally famed woman artist Toko Shinoda And she is probably the only artist who uses ink Her pictures hang in the Guggenheim Museum in New York the National Museum of the Netherlands at the Hague and the Haifa Museum in Israel as well as on the walls of the world private collectors around in Tokyo in eight how For her first major years — more than—a dozen paintings and as her main dealer rented many lithographs of Buddhist the basement the temple that used 500-year-o- H I : t ld to be the family temple of the Tokugawa Shoguns recently popularized on American TV Two hundred guests were expected at the opening but 500 came It was the first exhibition ever held at the famed shrine Miss Shinoda’s abstract paintings and lithographs owe much to her early training in calligraphy and she said nothing to Western art “I never studied Western art” she said in an interview at the Zojoji Temple where a mural titled “Past Present Future” that she painted four years ago covers one wall She has read the art books and knows about the art of the West but “No Western influence 100-foot-lo- ng has come to me It’s unreasonable for a Japanese to do Western art' It’s one thing to do things from the West like natural sciences like chemistry but not art” Yet she estimates that 70 percent of the people who pay from $300 to $500 for one of her lithographs — in editions of 20 or sometimes 50 — are foreigners So are about half the people who spend up to $25000 for her paintings She has Japanese customers too She painted a mural for the Japanese Embassy in Washington others for a conference hall in Kyoto and a research center in Tokyo Miss Shinoda has exhibited often in the United States Leanne Carter as Mary in 'a scene from the
