Hiroshi Matoba (的場 弘司)

Hiroshi always loved to draw. After getting married and having children, he wanted to be someone who would be respected as they grew up, so he started learning painting when he was 27 years old. Later, he was attracted to Japanese-style painting so much that he started and continued to learn it even though he had to relocate to another place for work. His future goal is to become an artist who can express himself in a modern way in Japanese painting.

Influences: Masayuki Murai, Toshio Tabuchi, Ieyasu Tokugawa
