MASATOSHI  NAKAYAMA, 8th Dan  -  2001

Japan Karate Association

Performing the Kata  ("Viewing the Sky")

at Shimodo, Izu Peninsula, at daybreak.

Oil on canvas 16ins x 20ins

I try to find unusual subjects to paint whenever I can and this oil painting is one of them.     I have a particular interest in this one as I was an exponent of judo and karate in the fifties and sixties.   Masatoshi Nakayama is counted amongst the great masters of oriental martial arts.
