We're proud to announce that Knox Pop Con founder Asami Martin's original Japanese calligraphy scrolls are now featured at Nama Izakaya, Nama Collective's newest location in Knoxville's historic Old City district. As a Japanese immigrant artist with deep roots in traditional and contemporary Asian culture, Asami's work reflects the authenticity at the heart of everything Knox Pop Con creates. This collaboration with Nama Collective represents more than a beautiful installation—it's the beginning of expanded opportunities for our young performers to showcase their talents and for both organizations to reach deeper into our local community. We invite you to visit Nama Izakaya, experience Asami's artwork, and support the growing partnership between two organizations committed to celebrating Asian culture in East Tennessee.
