Yokoyama Taikan

Today i went to the Yokoyama Taikan exhibition. He is a artist painter and worked on his paintings only from early morning until early afternoon, for these were the hours when he could enjoy the full sunshine spreading into every corner of his ateler. His paintings were thus captured by brushes that dripped brilliant sunshine. In the present exhibition Taikan's full of light "fusuma" paintings are being shown to the public for the first time in 30 years. Over a 90 year life that spanned the Meiji to Taisho and though to the Showa eras, Taikan produced a wide range of paintings by flexibly adopting the various artistic syles that characterize Japanese painting. In sensing the aura of these paintings, you will discover the soul of a Japanese master.

Non-Electric Fan will become a artistic object as well ^^
