The art of Shinichi Maruyama is influenced from traditional Japanese art such as calligraphy and rock gardening.

An excerpt from the Artist’s statement:

Nihon (Japan) and ga (painting) combine to form Nihonga, or ‘Japanese painting’, a style which dates back over a thousand years. Traditionally such images were made using animal glue, gold leaf, and natural pigments. The images you are looking at are all organically photographed ‘real’ pictures that have been recomposited together to produce the desired result.
