Wild Horses Running Free

Used Ink, coffee, Mica (gold flares, natural pigments) on Washi.

Jim Aono, nihonga artist (Japanese traditional paintings) uses natural materials as pigments, mainly minerals, crushed gemstones, shells, mica, pearl, gold and silver powders, and white gofun (a white pigment made from pulverized seashells) mixed with nikawa glue (a gelatin derived from deer, rabbit, fish, animals' skins, and bones) to paint on washi paper, silk, or cedar boards.

​

Japanese traditional art and culture have a lot to offer to the world, and they will continue to evolve through positive cultural exchange, impacting and giving hope to the world.
