The organizer and director of the event, Arahabaki CEO Mr. Yamao, also known as BAKIBAKI, has performed Live Painting Shows at the Turner booth at GEISAI and also held a live painting event at GEISAI Gallery. For this reason, the GEISAI Executive Committee’s own Takumi Kaseno has been invited to join the event as a juror.

This year, “Live Paint Dojo” will feature twenty-five individual head to head matches and 7 team competitions.
Contemporary Artist Tenmyouya Hisashi, Hip-Hop artist KILLER-BONG, and Takumi Kaseno from Kaikai Kiki are the jurors and I hope to hold a lively discussion about how we can survive in this world as painters and performers.

Japan’s live painting culture brings together several genres of painting and I created this event to contribute to its development, as well as to provide an outlet for artists from around the country to display and develop their skills. Please do not hesitate to come if you are interested.
