Kazuho Ueda is a prominent leader at the Tokyo University of the Arts, specifically within Studio 1. This studio is dedicated to promoting innovations in traditional painting techniques.
Ueda describes his artistic process as one that requires the bravery and readiness to eliminate unnecessary elements, rather than adding more. This aligns with the aesthetic principle of Zen, which focuses on removing the superfluous to reveal the essential nature of things.
This principle has influenced cutting-edge technology companies and is emerging as a new aesthetic guideline in our increasingly complex world. Ueda's work, which utilizes traditional materials, is gaining significant attention as a form of contemporary art that pushes boundaries while honoring tradition.
