Lantern Light

“Lantern Light” by Master Ye Yushan has recently been delivered from China. The sculpture was unveiled on Topeka’s Washburn Campus on June 15.
It’s near Henderson Learning Resources Center.
An exchange of art between the U.S. and China celebrates 30 years of peace and friendship between the two countries. Topeka was one of four cities to receive a piece of Chinese sculpture. Other cities are Atlanta, Newark, N.J., and Washington, D.C. ‘Lantern’ spotlights Topeka.
As part of the art exchange, Kwan Wu’s sculpture, “The Gates of Peace” was unveiled May 15 in Kwan’s hometown of Nanhai, in Guangdong, China. Wu is a U.S. citizen, a Kansan, and lives in the K.C. metro area.
I’d like to see that in person. Maybe next time we are in Topeka. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Cheryl.
Oooh, I haven’t seen that yet either. Cheryl, I think you’ve been out and about in Topeka more than I have, lately!
