UNKAI 雲海 : SEA OF CLOUDS

When we climb a high enough mountain, the clouds spread before us like a wavy sea.


 

In May of 2023-24, Peter travelled to Japan to explore how the people of Japan honour the land through pilgrimage. Over the course of 3 weeks with his roll of canvas, easel and companions, Peter travelled to the northern island of Hokkaido and mainland Honshu to explore Japan's tribal roots, its myriad of heritage sites and to climb Japan's revered volcanoes and landscapes nicknamed 'the playground of the Gods'. Peter was awarded the Daiwa-Anglo Foundation grant and WLCO Welsh Livery award in 2025. Paintings from Japan can be seen at exhibitions across the UK in 2025-2026.
