CELEBRITY TALK in association with Hymn to beauty: the art of Utamaro
Josh Roelink, tattooist
Josh Roelink is one of Australia's most sort-after professional tattoo artists. Tattooing since 1992, he has travelled the world studying under various masters of the trade, including the renowned Yokohama tattoo master, Horiyoshi III.
In 2001 he opened his own private, appointment-only studio, Tatudharma, in Chippendale in inner city Sydney. This was a direct result of his experience of getting tattooed in and working in the private environs of the Japanese tattoo masters. Tonight Josh talks in association with Hymn to beauty: the art of Utamaro.

Satsuki Odamura, koto
The koto has been one of Japan's most popular musical instruments since it was taken up as entertainment for the wealthy merchants of the early Edo period around the 17th century. To many, koto music is evocative of traditional Japan, with the attributes of the western harp. This program featuring performers Satsuki Odamura, Shoko Ono and Hitomi Kurosawa ranges from the simplicity of the traditional melodies to challenging contemporary pieces. |  |
