  UNAGAMI MASAOMI (1931-2019), also known by his pen name "朴斎(Bokusai)". He met INOUE YUICHI at a 1970 exhibition. Recognizing his talent, he played a key role in elevating INOUE's reputation and establishing his presence in the art world, both in Japan and abroad.
  INOUE YUICHI, born in Tokyo in 1916, is an artist who represents Japan in the late 20th century. He is often remembered as a wild and uninhibited figure, with his shaved head, wielding a giant brush, splashing ink, crawling and rolling on the ground, as if no one else existed. "He was a simple schoolteacher by day and an avant-garde artist at home," is how those who knew him described him. While the rest of Japan was indulging in rapid economic growth, he remained obscure, grounded, and genuine, and eventually honed himself into an artist who came to represent Japan and left his mark on the history of world art.
