Takumi Akino
[Artwork Dimensions] 60.6 x 91 cm (Large 30-go size)
[Accessories] Board only (frame not included)
This is a large (30-go size) Japanese-style painting by the highly acclaimed artist, Takumi Akino. He was active as a member of the Rikikai association, has received awards such as the Grand Prix at the Franco-Japanese Exhibition, and has held solo exhibitions in New York, earning high praise both domestically and internationally.
In the 2015 Art Yearbook, although listed in the deceased artists section, his work was valued at 150,000 yen per go-size unit. As this piece is 30-go size, a simple calculation reveals its exceptionally high value.
The elegant motif, believed to be by the nobles of the Heian period (Heian Dynasty), is depicted with a modern sensibility and traditional Japanese painting techniques. The texture, reminiscent of gold leaf, and the deep colors create an overwhelming presence in any space.
