Tadashi Ura is an illustrator and an artist of "SUIBOKUGA" or ink-wash painting, which uses Japanese sumi inks (mainly black) on true Japanese washi paper. His inspiration comes from modern, everyday life, while his style is embedded in Japanese traditional artwork.
In his free time, Tadashi likes spending time with his family - including his adorable daughters and fluffy (energetic) dog. He likes to go animal watching, and is fond of flowers, starry skies, forests at midnight, red clouds at sunset, and mountain top sunrises. Tadashi tries to express in his artwork all the beautiful things one cannot sense with the eyes alone.
Tadashi hails from Yokohama, Japan where he has created many hand-rendered and digital works in the past 25 years, spanning advertising, editorial, web, and more. He often has solo shows and live-painting exhibitions in both Japan and the USA.
