MASATAKA CONTEMPORARY was launched in January 2013. Our mission is to introduce and encourage emerging talents that we felt in love with. We explore artists and their work across various media that meet our two criteria; creativity and independence.

‘Look like a printing but it’s has hand drawing texture’ that by original carbon transfer technique, and I am exploring between print (edition) and hand drawing.
I think by carefully looking back on the casual one scene of the past again,so that the day of today will be shine.
