《Japanese-Style Painting: Let’s Have Fun with Mysterious Art Materials》
The Hirayama Ikuo Silk Road Museum will hold a Japanese-style painting workshop, welcoming Yatsugatake-based Japanese-style painter Nika Kaneko as the instructor.
The painting style known as Japanese-style painting has a long history. It was brought to Japan thousands of years ago from the Silk Road, via China and the Korean Peninsula.
