May 10, 2015 - Thanks to rapid circulation on the internet, this piece by Tomoe Nakamura has already reached iconic status among trashpoets and D-Kulters. I am thrilled that Tomoe has chosen the MinXus USA archives as the repository for this amazing work. Here is the reverse side:

Explaining the work, Tomoe has written: “Here I finish the ‘a fish got caught with plastic’ piece. I also added medicine case I picked up on the street. (It was already smashed and wet like it’s been there for a while…)”

I am thrilled Tomoe Nakamura is participating in the mail art network. I congratulate her on all the contributions she is making, especially for her work with found material and recycling. I extend my deepest thanks for this work she sent.
