In
nihonga we use iwa-enogu, mineral colors made from pulverized mineral
stones, with nikawa glue added for adhesives to paint on the canvas
of washi. Washi has been used for approximately 2000 years and its
permanence is highly regarded. Iwa-enogu also radiates brilliant
rays of color and has a long history of over 1400 years. The painting
technique is similar to those of tempera but the finish has a characteristic
texture of nihonga which is produced by the combination of iwa-enogu,
nikawa glue, and water. Oil painting was familiar to me from my
early age, but a little over 10 years ago I became fascinated by
iwa-enogu and started to paint nihonga. Since then the brush in
my hand moves in a more lively fashion and inspires creativity.
With color and form I hope to express the inner essence of landscape
and flowers and not limit myself to simple depiction. I am very
pleased with this second opportunity to hold an exhibition in New
York and also interested in how my nihonga will be accepted by New
Yorkers, who are well versed in art. I would much appreciate your
visit to the Gallery.
