Every sculptural work by Mr. Okumura are created with classical technique as lost-wax casting and made out of traditional bronze.

He met the world famous sculptor, Mr. Emilio Greco and learned his technique and philosophy for 5 years. Since then Mr. Okumura has been gradually recognized as the successor of Mr. Greco.

Even though he has been living in Italy over 30 years and learning western sculpting technique, he said he never felt awkward to create Japanese style Buddharupe. He told us that "I feel like Gods will is encouraging me to decide these motifs,rather than I intentionally choose it." Immerse yourself with the alluring beauty of Mr. Okumura's work.
