Kazuho Ueda is a top leader of the Tokyo University of the Arts, Studio 1. The studio takes initiative for “the innovation of traditional paintings.”
Ueda describes his art creation as a “braveness and readiness to eliminate, instead of adding unnecessaries.”
The aesthetic principle of Zen is to eliminate the unnecessaries and pursue the significant nature of things. The principle served as a source of inspiration for the cutting-edge technology companies. Moreover, it is becoming a new aesthetic guideline in today’s complicated world. Ueda's art is attracting wide attention as a cutting-edge art created from traditional materials.
