Traveling to 46 World Heritage cities in 18 countries is impressive enough on its own, but painting them is another thing entirely. Yet, Ecuador's noted contemporary painter Oswaldo Munoz Marino has done just that.
Marino came to Tokyo last week for an exhibition held to coincide with the visit of Dr. Gustavo Noboa, the president of the Republic of Ecuador.
On show are 30 watercolors of various sites in UNESCO-designated World Heritage cities -- from the streets of Quito to a Budapest cathedral -- which have been displayed all over the world. They include six paintings of Tokyo -- depicting, among others, the Imperial Palace, Asakusa Temple, Kabukiza and Hibiya Park.
