In Tokyo Year 2009 kicked off with a beautiful day without a speck of cloud, and the "takahiro-art" website is finally renewed! The "retro-modern" design that goes against the trendy “Web2.0/iPhone” look keeps the atmosphere of the original version of this site first launched in 2002. It, however, now incorporates some latest Flash-based applications for a more entertaining art and photo viewing experience.Text and music sections are planned to be added before spring.

2009 is the Year of the Ox in the Chinese astrological zodiac, so I am attaching a photo from my 2007 stay in Zurich where the art event "Cow Parade" started. The event spread to various cities across continents including Tokyo. If you prefer a cuter look, you can scroll down to find another photo from Switzerland.
