It’s important to have good relations in Tokyo and Abeer Ayche spouse of the Ambassador of Oman in Tokyo is one wonderful friend! A visit at the Embassy of Oman for the occasion of a private party to display her beautiful talent as a photographer left me with unexpected encounters…

I remember meeting Abeer Ayche many years ago when she was just taking on photography as her favorite art and pass time and yes she has come a long way to some mastery, now displaying some hundreds of her masterpiece in the beautiful hall of the majestuous Oman Embassy of Tokyo. As we arrived at the venue, Ayumi and I were meet by the many blue licensed plates diplomatic cars parked all along the Hiroo prime neighborhood of Tokyo. Little did I know, the guest list was not very large but carved with VIP’s we don’t usually see on many occasions, a friend-only type of gathering who appreciates the conquest of time to the betterment of each other. One of Abeer’s good friend is Mrs. Abe, First Lady of Japan and frankly, that was good enough to draw attention to the rest of the crowd, wondering who else was here to give this exhibit all the splendor it so deserves. Abeer has a beautiful child who is handicapped and she has always touched my heart in the way her passion in life and others is far above than many of her high ranking circles. Truly grateful to have met this day from the kindness of her invitation and leading us to greet and the First Lady of Japan. Saying that I am simply expressing that ART is a language that everyone can understand, regardless of status or background, we stand equally in awe to the creation of one’s creation bravely displayed to the recognition of others. Thank you Abeer, you were so beautiful as ever and your exhibit’s message was to me, a message of peace, acceptance and the most beautiful photography I have ever seen in Tokyo!
