- Mi (Self) -

A beautiful lithograph, Mi (Self), is by Kyosuke Chinai (b. 1948). The composition portrays a young girl in a kimono beneath three serene Buddha statues. Her closed eyes convey a quiet, introspective expression. A single red ribbon in her hair stands out, providing a striking accent against the predominantly black and brown tones of the print. At the top, a bold brushstroke anchors the composition, lending it strength and quiet authority. The work is printed on deep ivory-colored paper, enhancing its warmth and timeless presence.

Kyosuke Tchinai (also spelled Chinai), born in Ehime Prefecture in 1948, is a renowned Japanese Western-style painter. He is celebrated for harmonizing Japanese aesthetics with Western techniques, creating dreamlike works often inspired by kimono motifs and the natural world. His paintings and prints are highly sought after by collectors both in Japan and internationally.
