Japan, special collaboration
In 2002 Tomanovic was invited to cooperate in a special collaboration with the president of the
Japanese Shikigaku Institute (Eastern Astrology). The result was an exhibition in Sozenji Temple
in Tokyo, commemorating the 750'th year after the death of Dogen, the establisher of the Soto School of Zen.
Tomanovic painted expressions of ten famous Samurai karma's (destinies).
Tomanovic was the first person ever allowed to exhibit art in a Soto Zen temple.
One of Tomanovic's paintings has become a permanent part of the Sozenji temple.
Some years before Tomanovic already was invited to meditate in the oldest Zen temple of
Japan, known as 'Eiheiji'. This was an important experience and inspiration for a deeper
understanding of the Japanese way of life.

artists from the Netherlands and Belgium were invited to portray the Hofvijver in words and images.
The exhibition was opened by the former Prime Minister Wim Kok.
The painting by Bob Tomanovic, "A mirror of the time", played a special role at this exhibition.
Immediately after the opening it was bought by a lawyer office "Vermeulen en Groos", The Hague.
Bob's painting was also chosen as the main visual 'image' for the exhibition, and was printed in
several news papers and art magazines, like "Art.nl", a leading Dutch magazine on art.
Soon after the opening of the exhibition, the Prime Minister's Cabinet
took the initiative to invite Bob Tomanovic to make two more painting on
the same theme "Hofvijver in poetry and image".
These two paintings have already been finished.
One of the two paintings is planned to get a place at the renewed and historical "Catshuis"
(the official residence of the Dutch Prime Minister) after the restauration. Since the summer of 2002
the other painting already found its place at the Dutch Parliament Building.
