Sparkle of Life

Matazo Kayama (1927-2004) is counted among the major figures of contemporary Japanese-style painting. Grown up in a family of artists, he practiced painting since he was young. His grandfather was an artist of Japanese-style painting and his father was a designer of kimono (Nishijin-brocade). He studied arts at the Kyoto Municipal Arts and Crafts School (the present Kyoto City University of Arts) and the Tokyo Art School (now Tokyo University of the Arts).
