Kyoto City University of Arts and Kanazawa University of Art and Design are public art universities that have built a history in the centers of traditional Japanese culture and crafts, Kyoto, the thousand-year-old capital, and Kanazawa, where the culture of Kaga million-koku is alive, respectively. What both universities have in common is a deep understanding of "techniques" and "materials" that have been passed down through generations. In particular, in the field of "Japanese painting," which condenses Japan's unique aesthetic sense, we are known for our advanced professional education backed by a long-standing tradition, and have produced many artists who have the power to carve out their own unique expressions. In this special feature, we will focus on the seekers of beauty connected to the lineage of ancient cities: Kyoto City University of Arts and Kanazawa University of Art and Design. Combine tradition and modernity, technology and sensibility at a high level, and see a group of powerful and delicate works by current students and graduates of both universities.
