The photo above is a photo of the venue. Ichiro Tsuruta was born in Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture in 1954, and went on to Tama Art University's Graphic Design Department to become an illustrator. In 1987 (Showa 62), he was appointed as an illustrator for Noevia's advertisement "Cosmetic Renaissance", and painted beauty paintings for 11 years until 1997 (Heisei 9). In this exhibition, 10 works and 1 poster are exhibited as "resonating beauty" of works drawn in pairs and works drawn by two people from Ichiro Tsuruta's masterpieces of beauty paintings.

The above work is inspired by the statue of Fengjin Raijin by Sotatsu Tawaraya, also known as the founder of Rinpa. It is depicted as "Japanese painting" purely using Japanese art materials.

At the age of 27, Ichiro Tsuruta began to draw original beauty paintings based on Rinpa, Ukiyo-e, Buddhist art, etc., with the emergence of the consciousness of being a Japanese person, and his work is based on Japan's unique aesthetic sense, and the creation of many Western elements such as Art Deco are fascinated by the beautiful lines and color Aya. This time, valuable original drawings used for cosmetics advertisements are also on display, so we look forward to your visit.
