By Japanese artist Kazuhiro Ikeda
A portrait by Japanese artist Kazuhiro Ikeda combines traditional nihonga aesthetics with modern Japanese figurative art against a muted, beige-grey background. In the lower-right foreground, a young woman with straight black hair tied into a low ponytail and blunt bangs looks toward the left with a calm, contemplative gaze. She wears a dark grey sailor-style school uniform (seifuku) detailed with a subtle geometric woven pattern, white collar stripes, and a six-pointed star emblem on her left shoulder. Her right hand is raised near her chest, fingers curved in a claw-like posture. In the upper-left, hovering amid stylized, scroll-like clouds and floating pebbles, a large cream-colored cat rests in a classic grooming pose with one hind leg raised, revealing its pink paw pads. Wisps of smoke or mist drift gently from the cat’s ears and mouth. A bank of clouds settles along the bottom edge, where the artist's signature characters (和宏) and a square red seal (hanko) are stamped in the lower-left corner.

Can art justify cruelty?

In Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s “Hell Screen,” a painter’s pursuit of beauty turns into a nightmare.

I explore the terrifying side of “art for art’s sake” in Japanese literature.

Can beauty exist beyond morality?

In "Tatoo," Jun’ichirō Tanizaki explores obsession, cruelty, and the strange beauty of imagination.

My latest essay on Japanese literature and aestheticism.

Can fiction capture the spirit of an age?

Shōhei Ōoka confronted war and survival. Today, many stories stay within a “five-meter radius” of daily life.

But perhaps that narrowness reflects our age, too.

Must literature be morally respectable?

Nagai Kafū found beauty in Tokyo’s streets. Ango Sakaguchi challenged conventional morality.

This essay explores decadence: the uneasy relationship between art and morality.
