NARA, JAPAN

The story begins in Nara, Japan. As an artist, he drew inspiration from the world far away. He studied the works of European artists such as Picasso, Basquiat, Warhol, and Gauguin, and traces of the first two are particularly evident in his characteristic line work and colorful universe.

ONE SPECIAL WISH

Throughout his life, he created illustrations and artworks with a rare energy and personality. When Kozaburo passed away in 1998, his mother had a special wish. She hoped that one day his art could live on in Europe, which had inspired him so deeply throughout his life.

A new chapter

Therefore, his works were carefully packed and shipped from Nara to Denmark. And there are many. So many that over the years the family has agreed that some of the works deserve to find new homes, where they can be hung up, admired, and lived with in everyday life.

ART HISTORY

Each artwork is therefore more than an illustration. It is a small piece of a life story. A connection between Japan and Europe. And a story that continues with the next person who gives the artwork a place on the wall.

HONORABLE TASK

At Seramikku, we have been given the privilege of helping with this task. We do so with great respect for the history, for the family, and for the artistic legacy that has traveled all the way from Japan to Denmark.
