  YOSHIHARA JIRO is a Japanese abstract painter and businessman.
  In 1954, he founded the Gutai Art Association, the leading artistic movement in the postwar Kansai region.
  The following year, he held the first exhibition, and until 1968, he held 21 exhibitions of Gutai art not only in Japan but also in New York and Turin, becoming a part of the international art movement.
  He often said not to inherit modern paintings or imitate others, but create something that no one has ever done before." His philosophy led to the creation of many artists, including SHIRAGA KAZUO and MOTONAGA SADAMASA. He is best known for his works featuring circles, such as large white circles painted on a black background.
