Omomuki is a Japanese word that describes the warm feeling you get when you see something that makes you feel happy in the landscape.

WA-born, Kobe-based, artist Peter Davidson traveled to the Ishinomaki Ogutsu region in Japan after the 2011 tsunami with a surgeon to make records and donate paintings for the recently constructed temporary medical facilities. The local hospital was totally destroyed when the Tsunami overtopped it, killing all the on-duty doctors, nurses, support staff and patients. Since that visit, Peter says his attitude to painting has shifted towards creating a warmer aesthetic around what he considers beauty. “It may not be everybody’s, but it is mine”, he says.
