Letter NO. 05 | Tamiko Kawata

Written By Negin Mahzoun

This letter arrives from a life shaped by both circumstance and choice. Tamiko Kawata, born in Japan and living in the United States since 1962, writes from within questions of identity, belonging, and observation. Her letter reflects on living and making between cultures, where material, memory, and daily life quietly inform one another.

I’m honored to welcome Tamiko’s thoughtful voice into the Bisheh archive.
