GO! The French duly warn us, "n'esveillez pas lou chien qui dort", (let sleeping dogs lie) but come on, 2006 is the Year of the Dog! Plus, it only comes but every twelve years (not quite a dog's age). In celebration of man's best friend, Deep Roots Urban Teahouse in Oakland will host Year of the Dog and Other Animals: an exhibition of linocuts and letterpress by wasabi press. This Chinese zodiac themed exhibition will open with a lively Japanese New Year style reception on Thursday, January 5, 2006 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.. The exhibition continues through Friday, February 1, 2006. Patricia Wakida is the proprietor of wasabi press, a tiny green Chandler and Price platen letterpress stashed away in her garage studio in Oakland. She is a yonsei (fourth-generation Japanese American), born in the Year of the Dog, and has cut her teeth in the book arts and printing business as an apprentice papermaker in Gifu, Japan and as with letterpress printer and hand bookbinders, the Arts and Crafts Press in Berkeley. Examples of her whimsical linoleum block prints and letterpress books have appeared in exhibitions at the Mission Cultural Center, SOMArts Gallery, New Langton Arts, the Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles, the San Francisco Center for the Book, Mills College, the San Francisco Main Public Library, and at Post, Poster, Postest in Tokyo.
