Details: Here we see the beautiful Lady Mieko proudly letting her hair down and displaying her colorful and flowing kimono. She is emerging into a more modern time but honoring the past. On the stunning blue kimono Hisashi Otsuka has painted the feeling of the four seasons with individual works that include a tree house, a pine tree, a bridge and purple iris. This piece features embossing and gold gilt on the headpiece.
Like the samurai in many of his paintings on fabric, Hisashi Otsuka is an artist of remarkable dedication. Schooled in Zen and the martial arts, he has lived and worked by the warrior’s code of discipline and duty. Rooted in Japanese tradition yet adventurous in nature, he is known throughout the world for his boldness of color and style that mark him as truly unique. Otsuka’s work today is a powerful balance of ancient Eastern techniques and modern Western ideas. Like a concert musician with perfect pitch, he has perfect color memory and sense. His time-honored poets and warriors, kabuki figures, ukiyo-e women, and elegant calligraphy are steeped in the classical past. Yet in color and composition, his work achieves a vigorous, contemporary context. Monumental in scope and meticulous in detail, it offers a total aesthetic of heroic and subtle impact at once.
