Tenmyouya Hisashi !!!

On our last trip I was able to pick up some books by one of my favorite artists Tenmyouya Hisashi.  By combining street art/graffiti with old Japaneseukiyo-e art he creates his own " Neo Nihonga" paintings.  He also uses a super fine brush to do these big pieces that takes weeks just fill in!  Check it out...... "Kamikaze"

"Japanese Spirit  #1"

"RX-78" Kabuki Mono Version.  This piece sold for $200,000 US Dollars!

"A Tree Frog Pretending to be a Warlord Frog"

"Official 2006 Fifa World Cup Germany Poster"

"Kylin" & "Nue"

"Contemporary Japanese Youth Culture Scrolls"
