Noriko Kurafuji is playing in an image of the old memory, which is sleeping in her inside, and then draws scenery appearing gradually in her play. Her world is filled...Noriko Kurafuji is playing in an image of the old memory, which is sleeping in her inside, and then draws scenery appearing gradually in her play. Her world is filled with the beautiful landscape and has neither the clear beginning nor end. The world, which composed of the banquet of vivid colors, would be music rather than a picture; moreover, "the sound of the sea of the universe" rather than music.
This is a painting that does not simply represent flowers — it expresses movement, emotion, and the invisible rhythm of nature. The composition seems to float between abstraction and life itself, like petals carried by a soft wind, dancing in a silent waltz.
The painting is built with countless delicate, flowing strokes that resemble feathers, petals, or whispers of light. The create a sensation of depth and vibration. The work feels alive, almost breathing. The viewer does not just look at the painting; they enter it.
This is a piece about transformation, and poetry. Collectors from worldwide including museums, acquired her work as unique artwork, as they evoke spring, renewal, and the beauty of fleeting moments. Thiscomposition rises vertically immediately creates an emotional bloom, giving the feeling of hope and elevation. People often fall in love with her works because they feel, not just understand. It is both visually spectacular and intellectually refined. This balance is very important for a long-term artwork in a collectionlike her’s. These are paintings that structure a room and creates an emotion in an interior. And it becomes part of your life, not just decoration.
This is kind of artwork you do not get tired of. Once you discover it in real, they are way more beautiful than in picture. You will find out new details over time. It is truly alive, and changes with the light during the daytime.It is a painting that changes depending on the light and the distance from which you observe it.
Provenance
The Japanese word nagare means a constant change or flow of time.
In Buddhism it is called impermanence and considered to be the basic reality or fundamental condition of existence.
There is a Japanese language “Hanaikada” which means a flowers’ raft. It is an elegant word that represents a bunch of flowing cherry petals as a raft. And, at the same time, the flow of full fluid water will provide us with a special sense able to perceive not only a refreshing feeling but also the early summer season.

"The thought, or imagination, is own but is not monopolized by Noriko Kurafuji. While it is the subject held in the arms of the great force, it also continues changing more and more. And it comes back to the heart of a person looking at her work. Such a circulation resembles the flow of the human life which is hardly explained. This circulating thought belongs to this artist but does not only to her. It resembles the wave of a life flowing inside of our body like the flow of the air on the earth, though we can’t usually realize it. Leaving daily experiences like joy and sadness, her thought is free among the thoughts in the genesis, and sometime a trip of her thought will reach the sacred light with a beautiful sound. It should be the splendid happiness for Noriko Kurafuji that a tale of her odyssey, which started here, is led by such a sacred eye. However, the wave of a life does not always give her only the best moment. The tale, with light and darkness, might be forced to keep silent for a while in the dead quiet, which lost light, and her tale will certainly find out again the light of stars, which will be shining whole in the sky, as well as the deep chaos."
