このサイトを手がけたのは、日本画家の青木春龍（あおき しゅんりゅう）先生です。神奈川県横浜市にお住まいで、京都芸術大学および大学院で日本画を学ばれました。現在はさらに、高野山大学密教学科で仏教美術の研究も続けていらっしゃいます。

春龍先生の作品は、仏画や暈繝彩色（うんげんさいしき）といった伝統技法を基礎とし、

そこに文字文化や日本画の技術を融合させた、静かで奥行きのある世界観が特徴です。また、龍や虎、恐竜など、力強い生き物を描くことでも知られており、伝統と現代的な感性を行き来する表現が魅力です。

These works are by the Japanese painter Shunryu Aoki, who lives in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

She studied Nihonga (Japanese painting) at Kyoto University of the Arts and its graduate school,

and is currently continuing her research on Buddhist art at Koyasan University’s Department of Esoteric Buddhism.

Aoki’s paintings are characterized by a quiet, profound worldview, grounded in traditional techniques such as Ungen Saishiki (layered gradation coloring).

She also blends elements of calligraphy culture into her work.

Her recurring motifs include dragons, tigers, and dinosaurs—powerful creatures that reflect her pursuit of an expression that bridges tradition and contemporary sensibility.

Displayed here is her “Rain Falling on Asphalt” series, which began with a piece selected for the Exhibition of Japanese Nature.

This series explores urban landscapes and the fleeting traces of rain.

Raindrops falling on the cold surface of asphalt draw countless lines and circles, only to vanish immediately.

Through the techniques of Japanese painting, Aoki captures the transience and hidden beauty of these ephemeral moments.

Depicting urban scenes and disappearing phenomena in Nihonga is quite rare,

making this series a distinctive example of Aoki’s modern perspective.

It is a body of work where traditional craftsmanship meets the quiet beauty found in the everyday life of the present.
