Russia-Japan in fate of artist V. D. Bubnova

Many people believe that the fate did not go away. Others, on the contrary, think that a person is a blacksmith of his own destiny. Both are right. This situation is clearly reflected in the fate of V. D. Bubnova. Varvara Dmitrievna Bubnova was born and studied in Saint Petersburg. Here she was formed as an artist. But destiny brought her to Japan where she spent 36 years. She has made a significant contribution to the artistic culture of Japan. With poets and translators of the poems of Pushkin she worked. She returned home at the behest of fate. At home, already elderly, she continued her creative work. When she was 95 years old, her solo exhibition at the Leningrad branch of the Union of Artists was organized. The fate of Varvara Dmitrievna Bubnova left a vivid mark in the art and culture of Japan and Russia.
