The first book on a painter who expresses contemporary modernity through ancient painting techniques that are unique to Japan. Hiroshi Senju's art can be understood in its simple immediacy-a sense of powerful, timeless calm, and the monumental force and presence of nature is perceived. He combines finely ground pigments derived from natural materials in a medium of animal-hide glue, then applies this "paint" to handmade rice paper mounted on board.
