Kazuya Kitaura
A wood carving artist living in Osaka. At first glance, his wood carvings are modern pieces that seem to have popped up in three dimensions as they were, but on closer inspection, he combines motifs that seem to have no inevitability in others, strange poses, and works. There are a lot of hooks such as goofy expressions that allow each viewer to create an amusing story. From a Kansai point of view, it is a fun work that is "full of pitfalls".
