3x3 Magazine features Tatsuro Kiuchi

Issue Fifteen of 3x3 Magazine is now out, and it includes a feature on artist Tatsuro Kiuchi. Our own Naoki Mitsuse wrote the article and included information about Tatsuro's techniques and use of texture. The article also discusses Tatsuro's use of ma (or negative space) in his work. Tatsuro says, "The ma of the illustration is as important in Japan as 'concept' is in the U.S." The article includes a mini-retrospective of his work, including his children's books.
