For many years, Kaori Nasu has captivated people with her gentle and delicate touch, as well as her heartwarming colors, in the world of book illustrations and magazines. The theme of this exhibition is “Mt. Fuji,” a symbol of Japan and a source of people’s faith and art since ancient times.
As the artist herself says, her depiction of Mt. Fuji is more than just a landscape painting. Fuji through the filter of Ms. Nasu is accompanied by the life that spreads at its foot. The lovely flowers and grasses in bloom, the adorable animals, and our human lives. Fuji coexists with them, weaving a rich story in warm, muted colors within a single painting.
The artist’s characteristic soft colors give the majesty of Fuji a familiar warmth and sparkle of life. Fuji, which we tend to overlook in our daily lives.
We hope that this exhibition will provide a rare opportunity to experience the fascination of Mt. We hope you will take the opportunity to view this serene yet vital world.
Fuji has always held a strong attraction for me.
Fuji shows a great variety of faces depending on where you view it.
Surrounded by a diverse range of landscapes, you can also appreciate the seasonal color changes.
Fuji itself, but by combining it with motifs such as living creatures and pretty flowers and grasses, a new story is created in the painting. Fuji is surrounded not only by humans, but also by the colorful lives of many other creatures. Fuji is surrounded by many plants and flowers, which is why I want to paint them.
