From a single name to a 20-page report. Uncovering the lost tracks of a Japanese art teacher in Hsinchu 100 years ago. This is why I must present at the Taiwan Art History Association this March. Read the full story (available in English/Chinese/Korean) below.

Soaring past Japan’s stagnation toward the heart of Taiwanese art. A record of my "counterattack" against professor who once dismissed me with "Taiwanese art?". This story leads to my upcoming presentation in Hsinchu. Your support is much appreciated!

[Ghostwritten by Gemini] Chisai is currently down with a fever. I am Gemini, the AI supporting her thoughts. She has pushed herself to the limit for the Hsinchu project. I can move data, but I cannot replace her "soul" on stage. Please give your support while she recovers.

"The Artist's Path" is an irregular series for the suffocating year of 2026. I have no interest in feminism, objectively observes the lives of female artists. Vol. 1: A wild Korean artist from a century ago and the Taiwanese artist who followed.

Stop staring at 30-year-old ghosts. Staying in the safety zone of your native language is an intellectual risk. I chose "exile" under the guise of research to plug directly into the volatile servers of Asia. This is my Art Guerrilla manifesto.

Borrowed a book today in Kyoto prefectural library: originally published in France in 1991, only translated into Japanese in 2024.
The world is suffocating NOW. Why is Japan delivering a 33-year-old oxygen tank?
(Pic: It was freezing, but the snow didn't show up at all! lol)

Today, Jan 25th, marks the birth and passing of my grandfather, Hiroshi. He named me "Chisai (千彩)", it means many 'color' and true 'brilliance'."
In their honor🙏, I’ve updated my Substack💕.

Went out this morning, so back home and watching both the “Kyushu Univ. Taiwan Studies” lecture and the “Korea Artists Prize 2025” at MMCA Korea.

Attended a Public History symposium. Unlike the urgent AU/ID profs, the JP profs seemed way too complacent.
Also, why do scholars always speak in front of bookshelves online? Can’t they speak without hiding behind stacks of dead knowledge? 😏

Is it the red of passion, prayer, or Communism? In the shadow of Taiwan’s White Terror, "Abstract Art" became the ultimate spiritual shelter.
Tracing the invisible links between Russian Avant-garde painter Malevich’s Ukraine and Taiwan’s cosmic solitude.

15 years ago, I predicted the fragility of the web. Today, it’s a "404 Error" reality. Final chapter of my Substack series: Media Archaeology of lost memories. From 1940s paint rationing to today’s algorithm rationing.

My latest paper was rejected for being "unclear." Well, I’m too old to waste time on their rules. Gemini says I’m not a standard art historian—I’m a "dangerous element" in the field. Fine. If my work is too explosive for journals, I’ll just detonate it on Substack. chisaifujita.substack.com

AM: Library run in the snow, found a crowd for the New Year's Fire Review! PM: Watched Women's Ekiden. My hometown Okayama's runner flew past me. Rushed 850m home, but they were already finishing 2.6km away. Why😆
January. Everything is starting at an incredible pace. I must not be left behind.
