Throughout his career, the painter Okumura Koichi (1904–1974) pursued a new Japanese style. By redefining his own works, Okumura sought to change his landscapes from delicate lines to thick gestures, capturing the subject in outstanding compositions. Moreover, by magnifying certain elements within his works, Koichi emphasised natural phenomenon like waves or clouds, as well as the vitality of trees. This publication appears with an exhibition at the Kyoto City Museum of Art and marks the 50th anniversary of his death. It presents a selection of representative works from each period of his career, plus sketches from the museum’s collection that give insight into his methods.
