Illustrated is a colorful oil painting by Oni-Shino
pioneer, Tsukigata Nahiko. I thought it would make an excellent counterpoint to
his ceramic works and show the diversity of an artist, many considered the
"Picasso of Japan". The canvas is a particularly vibrant work with a
festive array of color and broad strokes. This work is only a medium size oil
for Tsukigata and though I am unsure of the exact date, I believe it was
painted between 1985 and 1989 and one can certainly see the influences of Van
Gogh and Umeharu Ryosaburo in his work.
