Masayuki Nagare
is a modernist Japanese sculptor, nicknamed "Samurai Artist" for his commitment to traditional Japanese aesthetics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/campus-art/objects/31575#zoom=17&lat=40.3505&lon=-74.6511 )〕 He was born in 1923 in Nagasaki to Kojuro Nakagawa, the founder and president of Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nagaremasayuki.com/flash-en/index.html )〕 As a teenager, he received training in the martial arts of a samurai, particularly swordsmanship,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nagaremasayuki.com/flash-en/index.html )〕 and lived in several temples in Kyoto, where he observed the patterns of rocks, plants, and water created by traditional landscape artists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jasonmccoyinc.com/ex_nagare07/ex_nagare07_frames.html )〕 In 1942, he enrolled at Ritsumeikan University, where he studied Shintoism and was apprenticed to a master swordsmith. He left university in 1943 to join the Imperial Japanese Navy and did not return to complete his studies. Nagare served as a Zero Fighter pilot in the Pacific War. After the War, he traveled all over Honshu Island until the mid-1950s, witnessing the desolation of the ruined countryside, developing a thorough understanding of the Japanese landscape, and becoming interested in local crafts such as pottery. His fascination with graveyard tombstones that had survived wartime bombing led to his longtime choice of stone as his preferred medium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nagaremasayuki.com/flash-en/index.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/campus-art/objects/31575#zoom=17&lat=40.3505&lon=-74.6511 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jasonmccoyinc.com/ex_nagare07/ex_nagare07_frames.html )〕
Nagare's art is strongly influenced by Shintoism, Zen Buddhism, and traditional Japanese martial arts. His principal stone-carving techniques include ''warehada'' ("cracked skin" or "broken texture"), in which the surface is left rough, with visible chisel marks, and ''shinogi awase'' ("ridges joined together"), which describes the meeting of two highly polished surfaces. Some of his works exhibit the contrast between the two techniques. His sculptures' clean lines often follow the subtle curvature of Japanese swords.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/campus-art/objects/31575#zoom=17&lat=40.3505&lon=-74.6511 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jasonmccoyinc.com/ex_nagare07/ex_nagare07_frames.html )〕
Nagare's works include "Cloud Fortress," which survived the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center (New York City) but was destroyed in the rescue and recovery efforts,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://eclectix.com/loss-world-trade-center-art/ )〕 "Sakimori" (Frontier Guardian) installed in the Honolulu Museum of Art, “Hamaritsurin Garden” in Seto Ohashi Commemorative Park (Kagawa Prefecture, Japan), "Receiving" (受 ''Ju'') stored at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.moma.org/collection/works/80982?locale=es )〕 and "Transcendence" (informally called "The Banker's Heart" by locals) installed in A.P. Giannini Plaza at 555 California Street (formerly the Bank of America building) in San Francisco, California.
