Artists

Aya Daido
Aya Daido (1909-) was born in Hiroshima into a family of painters, which included her mother Suma Maruki and her brother Iri Maruki. Aya began painting when she turned 60, at a time when she was deeply depressed from various hardships she encountered in her life. However, such difficulties in her life or war experiences never showed up in her work. Her paintings always express happiness, employing humorous and lovely animals and plants depicted in vivid colors. This exhibition showcases around 130 works by Daido, mainly consisting of original illustrations used for her picture books and prizewinning paintings.
