My favorite country to visit is Japan.

I love Japan. I love the collision of the modern and ancient worlds coming together in that place. It's so high-tech and cool.

One of my greatest times of inspiration is when I'm traveling or living in a new country - there's a tremendous freedom that comes from being unfettered by your own, familiar culture, and by seeing the world from a different point of view.

Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. In Kyoto, there's an inn called the Tawaraya which is quite extraordinary. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food, the dress, the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most.

I really love traveling to Japan.

My inspiration is love and history.

From Japan to Thailand, I keep discovering amazing talent, cuisine and food markets.

Japanese is sort of a hobby of mine, and I can get around Japan with ease.

In Japan, I am famous in certain special circles - mainly as someone who is trying to break down and enlighten the conventions of Japanese art.
