Ken-Ichi Murata produces small series of hand coloured black & white prints. Working and living in Osaka, Japan. Inspired by the old traditions, fairy tales and mythology, Ken-Ichi shows us the hidden eroticism in these stories. Or a least we get at glimpse into the artist’s fantasy realm.
Death and Eros go hand in hand in Murata's work, his work shows nymph-like japanese girls in sometimes explicit erotic poses.
On Murata's book 'Another tale of princess' Japanese photo critic Lizawa Kotaro says; this compilation of hand colored photos makes you feel a strange sensation of "fragrant peace". .
Ken-Ichi Murata starts off with a color photo, which he doesn't consider to be a work.
then produces a black and white image
hand coloring it with a brush, turning it into one of his works.
