From an art piece entitled "Present"
(1998)
7000 x 600 x 600

Recently, Masahiro Fukuyama has a gained a presence on the internet as a sculptor inspired by the ancient culture of the Samurai and contemporary game-culture. His suits or wearable scultures are very eccentric, but his other artwork is very interesting as well.

Born in 1976 in Kumamoto, Japan, Masahiro Fukuyama now lives in Amsterdam. He graduated from Tokyo National University of Art and Music in April 2002. He entered Sandberg Institute for post graduate work in 2004.

Exploring his site, I find myself amused and intrigued. Click on "art works", then run your mouse over the blank squares at the top. It might take a moment to load. I like the animal therapist (2000)! It is the 4th square from the left.
