LIZ DULLEY: How Japan and garden birds combine in her art By Andrew Welsh
Connections between Dundee and Japan aren’t particularly obvious either now or historically.
The best known past interface between the City of Discovery and the Land of the Rising Sun is probably in the career of earthquake expert and ex-West End Academy pupil Sir James Alfred Ewing, who served as professor of mechanical engineering at Tokyo University for five years from 1878.
Nowadays, Japanese students are noticeable albeit in small numbers in Dundee, where eateries specialising in both traditional “washoku” cuisine and modern dishes from the Pacific island nation have become increasingly popular.
