Funakoshi Katsura

Funakoshi Katsura is a Japanese sculptor and one of Japan's leading figures in the visual arts. His woodwork, usually depicting human figures above the waist, is striking and distinctive. Funakoshi processes the material, leaving the structure of the wood and traces of the carvings visible. The artist carefully uses grit for modeling and leaves unpainted part of the figure's head.
