Nakahara Arisa Illustration Works Art Book Review

Posted By yonghow on May 13th, 2019

Yuunarebahana ( ゆうなれば花 ) is the first art book by Japanese illustrator Nakahara Arisa. I first featured her art work in my review for the art book Bijinga Zukushi.

An Okinawan native who graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts, Nakahara Arisa specializes in illustrations created by way of Nihonga; traditional Japanese painting techniques, just like the artist of One Hundred Nights Of Bliss Ikenaga Yasunari. Her drawings are a dazzling and colorful blend of Bijinga and elaborate flower motifs.

Just like Ikenaga Yasunari, Nakahara Arisa’s beautiful illustrations are a beautiful blend of Nihonga and Bijinga, and is certainly one of the up and coming Japanese contemporary artists utilizing traditional Japanese painting techniques. This book is a bountiful collection of her illustrations and comes recommended.
