Suiboku-ga or so-called sumi-e Artist (Ink and water colour brush painting Artist) Born in Suzuka City, Mie, Japan in 1941. |
| About the Artist | |
Motoko Musha began her career as an artist with Nihon-ga (Japanese Watercolour) and oil painting. It was not until the 1980s after meeting Takugo, a Suiboku-ga master that she embarked upon a painting form that inspired her eventually to create her signature style - a blend of traditional Asian heritage with free-spirited contemporary art. Shortly after, she became inspired by the works of late Japanese artist Tamiji Kitagawa's Open Air School of Painting and travelled to Taxco, Mexico to gain a greater understanding of his legacy. Here she fell in love with the people and culture of the country, which has had a profound influence on her work. Motoko Musha became recognized for her distinctive spiritual expression of Suiboku-ga using traditional Japanese tools. |
