Notebook Page by Shingo Ikeda

I am sorry to say that I seem to have misplaced the name of the reader who tipped me off to this intriguing image, from an exhibition called “Souzou,” featuring  the work of 46 self-taught artists living and working within social welfare facilities across Japan:

Undated, artist’s notebook, collection of the artist

“Shingo Ikeda’s notebooks illustrate his calculations of the limitless journeys he might make on the Tokyo subway, or predictions of the outcomes of the baseball tournaments and sumo wrestling competitions he avidly follows.”

Read more here and at the page introducing the exhibition.

And thank you again to whoever sent me this link! Sorry I lost your email!

  1. That was me on Facebook!
    No worries. The artists are actually patients in a mental institution in Japan; their work is shown at the Wellcome Centre, in London.
