Kaii Higashiyama

Another Japanese artist that I'm really drawn to at the moment is Kaii Higashiyama. I work at two schools in Japan and in both of the staff rooms they have the same print up by him. I'm not sure what it's called but you can see it above, it's the one with the white horse. The two photos of his work in-situ is from a temple in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan.

I'd love to see his work close up and in the flesh, apparently his paintings are pretty big. What draws me to his work is the feeling of serenity he evokes, my mind feels more silent when I look at his work. That's a rare gift.

If I manage to get some better quality pics at some point in the future then I'll be sure to share them.

Hope you like them. xx
