Morgantown, W.V. 1975

Lindsay Nakashima: I remember going up (to the attic studio) and smelling the turpentine and picking the oil blobs off dad's paintings. No ghosts, just party attendees who stayed over night and I found them in the morning.

 "TOM NAKASHIMA found himself in fifteen states from the time he was born in Seattle until he grew up, in Iowa. His grandfather, a two-sword samurai, contrary to contemporary movement, took a covered wagon east. That's not true, Tom laughs: But the old man's ship did have a sail, and the lady he took for his wife had been a food taster for the Empress of Japan. That, plus the fact that his mother is Canadian, may or may not have anything to do with Tom's art ---- or that he toys with computers, plays games on grids, but has hair that is black and shaggy. That's him: depicted in the black ink brush paintings of wild and craggy bamboo mountain hermits. He could double, when he laughs, for Kanzan, but he passes you on the Appalachian streets in a Pontiac or a pick-up truck. "
