In my childhood, I was captivated by the painted backdrops of Kabuki theater.
These stage paintings depicted every phenomenon within the story’s scenes, endowing both the beauty and the drama with a mysterious power.
From nothingness, a single brushstroke would summon all things into being, and the painter’s intent—the movement of the heart—would spread throughout the stage and the audience.
People became absorbed in that world, drawn into the vortex of the actors’ performances.
Through these early experiences, and under the guidance of painters at the Kabuki-za, Masaki Wakabayashi came to understand the art of expressing intent through painting—the creative technique of forming a world that embraces all things.
He later mastered this discipline under Daoist sages.
Mukyoku Creation is the artistic practice born to bring this Xieyi expression into the world.
