Nihonga

Discover Nihonga, a Japanese painting method known for its use of mineral pigments, natural materials and traditional binders such as animal glue. Built through careful layers, its colors and textures reflect a deep respect for the natural qualities of the materials and a refined sensitivity to nature.

Under Shinichi Wakasa’s guidance, explore these techniques through a hands-on creative experience. Wakasa is a contemporary Japanese artist whose practice bridges traditional Nihonga with contemporary culture, drawing on Japanese spirituality, folklore, nature, manga and anime.
