Ichiro Kikuta (Okinawa based artist)
Nick travels to Yanbaru National Forest, in the north of Okinawa, to meet with the artist Ichiro Kikuta.
Born in Fukushima City, Kikuta became devoted to the ecological observation of wild birds, and soon discovered the work of British bird painter Charles Tanikliffe.
Kikuta`s style is based on Yamato-e Fusui ink painting completed by Sotatsu Tawaraya in the early Edo period. Since 2006, he has set up a workshop in Kunigami Village, Okinawa Prefecture, and has been presenting folding screen works that incorporate natural drawings outdoors.
