An exhibition of paintings by Japanese-American artist Makoto Fujimura is now on show at Sen Gallery in Tokyo's Setagawa Ward.
Fujimura, whose works utilize traditional Japanese nihonga techniques without following the visual conventions of the genre, became a Christian while studying nihonga at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. The main theme of his subsequent work has been the celebration of his religious faith.
Sen Gallery, 6-4-2 Fukazawa, Setagaya-ku, (03) 3703-6255, a 15-min. walk from the Park Exit of Komazawa Daigaku Station on the Shin-Tamagawa Line. Open Saturdays and Sundays only until May 27, 1-6 p.m.
