Tadashi Ura Card – Koi and Lilypad

TADASHI URA

Artist / Illustrator / Founder of Sumi-e Society SOUMOKU

Born in Nagasaki in 1972, Tadashi Ura currently lives in Yokohama where he has established himself as an artist. Based on the traditional techniques and aesthetics of Japanese ink painting and Nihonga, he creates his artworks under the inspiration of universal truth as well as elements and beauty of everyday life. He has held various solo exhibitions and live-drawing events not only in Japan but worldwide.

Tadashi has also been dedicated to client work over the last 25 years, which includes designing a junior-high-school music textbook on the page of National Anthem of Japan, as well as working on the countdown movies shown at Times Square New Year’s Eve events in New York City.

Since the foundation of Sumi-e Society SOUMOKU in 2017, Tadashi has been committed to inspiring people of all generations by giving them sumi-e classes at his studio or other institutes. While sumi-e is drawn in single stroke and therefore requires a high concentration, he believes that anyone is able to enjoy creating their own artwork and, most of all, to experience an irreplaceable moment in the here and now. His artworks of Tiger and Dragon have dedicated to the famous Zen temple “KOMYOIN” in Kyoto since 2021.
