GOKURA Auction
INDIA-JAPAN Relations

Coming soon….
Gokura means Paradise in Japanese. This catalogue retells the friendship between Mumbiram and Gokula from Japan. The friendship between Gokula and Mumbiram had a storybook beginning in Vrindavan, India.
Young Sachiko, Gokula, was attending the Tokyo School of Design. How exactly she came under the magical spell of India we will never know. Among other things she read a Japanese translation of the Bhagavad Gita spoken by Krishna over 5000 years ago. One thing led to another. Not only was she fascinated by everything about Krishna, she was enchanted by everything she read about India. How she wished she could wear a saree! How she wished she could speak Hindi if not Sanskrit! How she wished to discover the soulful mysteries of classical Indian music! In return Mumbiram was invited to Japan by Gokula’s parents.
