The Beatles arrived in Tokyo on June 29th, 1966. They had received death threats before the trip to Japan and were advised not to leave their hotel, the Tokyo Hilton. Paul and Mal Evans took a walk around the Imperial Palace and John visited the Oriental Market and Asahi Gallery, but other than that they stayed in the hotel room all day until it was time for their concert at the Budokan Hall.
Sheer boredom prompted them to begin painting what is now known as “Images of A Woman.” Over a course of two nights they all collaborated on the painting, which was on paper and paints provided by their Japanese promoter, Tats Nagashima. The paper was 30 inches by 40 inches and was placed on a table with a lamp at the centre. Working by the light of the lamp, each of the Beatles decorated their own corner of the paper with oil paints and watercolours. Paul’s corner had a symmetrical, psychedelic feel, while John’s had a dark centre surrounded by thick oils. George’s part of the picture was large and colourful, and Ringo’s was cartoon-like. When the lamp was removed from the table, it left a white circle in the middle of the painting, which was signed by all four of the Beatles.
