I also want to know!

"Back-hand coloring" Bokunen skillfully uses a technique called "back-hand coloring" in which colors are applied from the back side of the printed print after engraving vigorously in the form of intuitive inspiration. We are sending out works featuring vivid color schemes to the world.


Featured work Feature


"Annulus"

11m long!

A masterpiece that fascinates people

What is drawn is the world that Bokunen himself saw in the rich sea of Okinawa as a child. It is a state of fish gathering on a coral reef that springs up at high tide. This work, which is equivalent to 12 tatami mats, expresses Bokunen's deep love for the sea.

"corolla"

"Yuna"

First exhibition outside Okinawa!

Delicate and beautiful "Okinawa no Ojo" series

A series created in pursuit of the beautiful emotions of Okinawan women. You will be breathtaking in the beauty of line drawing, which is different from the bold woodblock print style.


I also want to know!

The difference between "line drawing" and "woodblock printing" Bokunen says that line drawing is similar to sculpture. Run the G-pen to carve it out finely, and the shadows of the overlapping lines make the picture stand out. On the other hand, woodblock prints are a way of drawing that enjoys chance. The feelings and sensations that come to mind at that time are vigorously hit against the woodblock. Delicate and beautiful line drawing and powerful woodblock prints. Please enjoy each difference.
