Jerry Ukai, whose short story Zen Hiker is being serialized in Subsequence, has an exhibition which is currently showing at Gallery Trax in Yamanashi. Just like the protagonists in Zen Hiker who spend their time up on the mountain for the purpose of self-discipline, Jerry too lives close to nature. This series of watercolor paintings, which depict both people and mountains, are simultaneously colorful pop pieces but are also contemplative, all while being filled with an easy humor.
