●Hiroko Kitada

Born in Tokyo in 1963. She graduated from Joshibi University of Art and Design, Department of Japanese Painting. She is a member of the Japan Artists Federation. She is a former member of the Japanese Painting Academy. She uses red as the base color and works on the theme of a girl and a cat. In her short pieces, she draws cats on her original screens and kimono fabrics on silk with foil backing. In her asobi-e, which personifies cats and frogs, she takes subjects from Kabuki, ballet, Noh, and children's stories, and creates works that are fun for both viewers and artists. When she was in junior high school, she met Seiho Takeuchi's "Madara Neko", which led her to the path of Japanese painting. Production is also his lifework.
