George Tsutakawa

I just now noticed that there is a George Tsutakawa show up at The Wing Luke Asian Museum.

His fountains have really wormed their way into my heart over the past two years.

I don't know how I missed Sheila Farr's great article (May 2008) about the re-opening of the Museum (which includes a George Tsutakawa Gallery with an inaugural show called, "Flow, Form and Function: The Fountains of George Tsutakawa.") And here's a sweet review Regina wrote back in 1990.

Did you know that Wing Luke was the first Asian American to hold an elected position in Washington State? Or that he was 40 years old when he died in a plane crash? More info on Wing Luke here.
