Nuclear issues are voiced strongly in Japan, and have had a direct impact on thousands of lives not only in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Fukushima but also from cases such as the Daigo Fukuryū Maru (No. 5 Lucky Dragon fishing boat whose story inspired the Godzilla movies).  Despite the sensitivity of the subject matter, many here believe it is important to be aware of the many issues surrounding nuclear weapons and energy that have persisted until today. If anything this importance has increased in recent years as the hibakusha (nuclear bomb survivors) age and their numbers decrease.
In the West, many people associate stone-related art with great masculine sculptures such as Michelango’s ‘David’, the Renaissance, and other famous names such as da Vinci and Donatello. Whilst these sculptors focused on realism, Japan was focusing on creating abstract works using the same canvas (in fact, at the same time and in a few cases long before the Renaissance).


The area, called 'Clayoquot Sound' has been inhabited by First Nation people for thousands of years. The name of the region comes from the 'Tla-o-qui-aht' who are believed to be the first settlers of the region with the main town of the region 'Tofino' being located within the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation's territory.
