About Junko Azukawa
Junko Azukawa grew up in Toyama, Japan, at the base of the central Japanese Alps, a region famous for the natural beauty of its landscape.
She started learning traditional Japanese calligraphy, Shodo, at the age of five and has experienced the vast possibilities that calligraphy and Japanese ink painting, Sumi-e, can express with just simple monochrome brush marks.
Recent Junko’s artwork has been influenced by Australian plants and birds. She invites you on a journey between two cultures as she uses a traditional art medium and techniques from her birth country of Japan to embody the essence of wildlife and plants from her current home of Australia.
Together with a lifelong study of traditional calligraphy and ink painting, Junko has found peace and appreciation deep within and loves sharing with her audience the intimate relationship between mother nature including animals and human nature through her brush.
