私は日本の伝統的画材・技法などを使って絵画制作をしていて

　主に日本の歴史・神話・古い物語などを題材に描いてます。

日本の伝統・昔ながらの習慣・ざまざまな技術は、

　周りの国々と海で隔たれた島国ということもあってとても独特で興味深いです。

また、「日本の伝統技術」で「日本の歴史」を題材に絵を描くことは、

　二重螺旋を登っていくようでとても楽しく思います。

Japanese traditions, old customs, and various techniques are very unique and interesting, partly because

we are an island nation separated from the surrounding countries by the sea.

I also enjoy drawing pictures on the subject of “Japanese history”

with “traditional Japanese techniques” as if I am climbing up a double helix.

Historical imagery and traditional Japanese techniques endure in the paintings of Akinori Ohtsuka.

Each painting begins with extensive research on his subjects, which are often Japanese history and mythology.

He then carefully selects his tools and paints; preferring mineral colors mixed with hide glue, gold leaf, silver leaf, and sumi (Japanese ink), applied to a very thin traditional Japanese paper.

His adherence to traditional aesthetics mingled with classical techniques and animation produce works simultaneously archaic and alive.

Becoming fascinated with historical documents and archival materials at the early age of 10, started Akinori on his journey of not just consuming Japanese history, but sharing it.

He uses his art as a vehicle to preserve his culture’s traditions in the modern world, and to share those traditions and history with those coming from other cultures.
