Japanese artist: Kiriko
Kiriko was born in the Japanese hot springs resort of Kurokawa Onsen (Hot Springs) on the southern island of Kyushu. She graduated from the Musashino Institute of Art in Tokyo and has studied with Hiroshi Inoue and Akiyo Ueda since. She specializes in the medium of Nihonga, translated as “traditional Japanese painting.” One of the main features of Nihonga is the use of powdered, organic mineral pigments which Kiriko grinds herself. Kiriko is now a resident of Hot Springs Island.
