Since moving to Tokyo, Anna has become a freelance writer, lecturer and cultural researcher. Her work has included providing expert feedback for the Japan Cultural Institute and Japan Tourist Association on a wide range of cultural sites across Japan. She has particular expertise in the field of prints and drawings, a subject on which she has lectured for the California College of the Arts, the Tokyo University of the Arts as well as publishing numerous academic articles and her book ‘London: A View from the Streets’.
