The show will be open Saturday, Sept. 6, to Monday, Sept. 8, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Uemura’s artwork uses traditional Japanese materials: washi paper, kimono/obi materials, origami, mizuhiki, and kanji calligraphy.

Originally from Los Angeles, where she attended Belmont High School, Uemura now lives in Kagoshima.
