Gallery Sakuranoki

Nakanishi says “I have reached this method while trying to depict what I want to without protest to my mind." He paints in a careful manner with the style called “araidashi" that is to wash out colors on a paper with water numerous times. It gives the comfort of fresh air and gentleness to viewers.
