- Profile
- Japanese painter, born in Shimosuwa, Nagano. She received her BFA in Japanese Painting from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2005 and completed the doctoral program in the Japanese Painting Research Area at the same university in 2010, receiving a PhD in Fine Arts. After serving as Associate Professor at The University of Osaka, she assumed her current position. Based on her practice in Japanese painting, her research examines issues of creativity. Recently, she has interpreted spatial representation in classical Japanese painting as a “Kakiwari structure,” investigating the mechanisms of creation and exploring their implementation in her own artistic practice. Major publications include TANKURI: Shooting Creativity (2018, co-authored with Yukio-Pegio Gunji). Selected exhibitions include Kyoko Nakamura: Onbashira Decreated (Suwa City Museum of Art, 2022).
