Golden City - Pure Gold, Mineral and Mica, Japanese Style Cityscape Painting
By Maria Mitsumori
Located in Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo
This original artwork is the artist's maiden work.
What initially inspired Mitsumori to paint were the cityscapes of Jaisalmer. Jaisalmer is a city in India known as the “golden city” that gleams in gold-like colors at sunset. When Mitsumori saw the city shimmer like a piece of gold jewelry, she felt soothed, revitalized, and hopeful. The beautiful cityscapes reminded her of jewelry that retains its shine after a thousand years.
