Muraoka's artwork is rooted in the traditional nihonga technique, while also incorporating elements of spirituality and icons from European paintings. He aims to express various "signs" found in nature using colors with an antique appearance. His unique art style, which reflects the emotions of the viewer, may indicate the future direction of nihonga.
