-Wa- Modern Painting by Line and Color
Takehiko Kikuchi and Jun Ogata have announced the high-quality painting of Japanese style modern art, one after another.
Both artist has been supported deeply by a part of overseas art fans and collectors.
But also it is true that there is few chances to touch personally with their works except a part of art fans and collectors. It is different from other artists who catch the wave of the boom.

This time, DOKA Contemporary Arts planned the competing of these two artists who can express the Japanese sense of beauty refined extremely delicate and highly.
The extremely Japanese style with sense of color and humidity feeling must be international, which can not be expressible by foreign artist.
In this sense, we selected these two artists as the most important person who expressed modern Japan.
Moreover, they are so similar in style of "Wa", but there are much difference in "expression" and "background".

Please enjoy having the painting near yourself as a chance to deepen personal communications with these artists.
