About Tokyo Pencil

Tokyo Pencil is a dormant website run by Louise Rouse, artist and adjunct professor at Temple University, Japan Campus. In the spring of 2020, this website came out of hibernation to share a project by TUJ printmaking students - a diary of daily experience, sometimes fictionalised or embellished, of life during the coronavirus pandemic after classes were suspended and we continued the semester online.
