This exhibition features the works of four Japanese female artists in the Nihonga (Japanese painting) genre with differing personal backgrounds and educations, who have called upon these unique aspects of their lives in their creative endeavors. Ayano Fukuda leverages the soft textures of washi Japanese paper to create pieces that silently touch on the memories and thoughts of others; Akane Maeda expresses, based on her life experience, the mystique and sublimeness of the mountains, which are where she was raised and what she utilizes as the subjects of her art; Yoshiko Miyazaki focuses on the wondrous energy and emotional impressions created by plant life and other facets of Mother Nature in her attempts to invoke the same feelings through her works; and Kako Miyata uses ink to create simple-form depictions—usually in black and white—that represent her ideal lifestyle and other ideas. We invite you to come and compare the various expressive characteristics of these four incredibly talented artists, who are exhibiting together here for the very first time.
