"Momoko"
Momoko Nakagawa/atelier yamanami/ShigaBorn in 1996, based in Shiga Prefecture. Momoko Nakagawa has been a member of Atelier Yamanami since 2014.
She endlessly repeats her name, "Momoko," with each stroke intertwining and evolving, gradually shedding its original form to become a fluid composition that blurs the line between writing and painting. In the early stages of her practice, she explored embroidery, creating several pieces. Drawing on her natural affinity for repetition, she initially turned to embroidery as a means of engaging in a focused, meditative activity. Over time, however, her interest gradually shifted toward writing.
She works with a variety of materials, from colored markers to pens, with little attachment to any one tool. For her, it is the act of layering letters, the soft sound of the pen on paper, and the tactile rhythm of her hand in motion that holds the most meaning – each stroke flowing seamlessly into the next, as she becomes absorbed in the quiet transformation unfolding before her.

"(No title)"
Kiyoshi Yaegashi/Lumbini Art Museum/IwateAmong his vividly colored works, white squares and circles immediately draw the eye. At first glance, the paintings appear to be abstract geometric patterns, but many are surprised to learn that they are his own interpretations of buildings and vehicles, arranged in a way only he could imagine. Kiyoshi developed this style in childhood without formal instruction and has spent over half a century refining it, producing several hundred works. In his studio, he works over large sheets of paper, gripping felt-tip pens and guiding rulers with practiced precision, a testament to decades of dedication.
