Makes custom-made luxury paintings more accessible
Thank you for visiting.
I’m Kozo Sato, a Japanese painter for ‘makes custom-made luxury paintings more accessible’.
I am not only making orders from famous temples and shrines all over the country,
- I’m interested in fine art, but…
- I want a one-of-a-kind, one-of-a-kind piece of art, but…can’t afford to buy that.
For individual customers think that so, I create custom-made high-quality paintings by working out ideas that are close to the customer’s requests and budget.
In addition to full-fledged Japanese paintings, I’m working to make high-quality paintings more accessible, such as “hidden paintings using phosphorescent pigments” that will impress enthusiasts.
If you are interested, please contact me.
thank you.

Surprisingly, I received a request to exhibit this work at the gallery on the 2nd floor of a long-established luxury fruit store.
I also draw a lot of serious works.
Nevertheless, they dared to ask me to exhibit this work.
I respect their foresight. So I immediately accepted the offer.

About 【Japanese painting】
In contrast to Western paintings that came from Europe after the Meiji era, it refers to paintings using techniques and styles native to Japan.
There are categories such as colored paintings and ink paintings.
In the case of colored paintings, in addition to sumi ink, mineral pigments are mainly used, with some organic colors added. And Each color is kneaded with animal protein glue called “nikawa”.
They are painting techniques that require skill.
Draw with a brush on silk, Japanese paper, board, etc.
Before the name “Nihonga” was born, there were many paintings called “Yamato-e” and “Ukiyo-e”.
Traditionally, They are drawing outline, and It emphasizes stylistic beauty over realism. Then they are No shading, and characterized by simple color tones and expressions.
In recent years, Japanese paintings have been influenced by Western paintings, various expressions that are not bound by traditional techniques, and such as expressions with thick layers of paint, realistic drawings, abstract drawings, have come to be seen.
Currently, the distinction as “Nihonga” is largely based on the materials and techniques used rather than the style.However, more and more painters are introducing new materials to replace glue and drawing methods that are not bound by conventional Japanese painting techniques.
And the category of “Japanese painting” is becoming borderless.
