Noriko Tamura

One of the most adorable paintress whose wall paintings are considered as the most attractive at the moment in Japan.

In her earlier years, Indian portraits or persons were her main subject.
Since the late 1980s, she has been involved in big projects like mural decoration not only in various regions in Japan but in China, Thailand, and etc. reaching 49 coutries and places including AMADEA which is a luxury liner now under steam in the Mediterranean Sea.

She is now working on 42 fusumas (sliding doors) of one of the most prestigious temples in Japan, Tenryuji in Kyoto.
It should certainly go down in Japan's art history.
