What is Japan Pastel Nagomi Art?

Pastel Nagomi Art is a form of healing art. It started

in 2003 by Mr. Hosoya Norikatsu, in Japan. This art
uses a unique technique to paint. It uses soft pastel
powder and painting by finger.

“Nagomi” itself means “Harmony”, through

painting, we discover and express our inner’s colour
to bring the harmony, serenity and joy.

Through this art, we hope to gain self confidence,

calm and relaxed feeling. And during the process of
learning, we can encourage each other, passing the
happiness and positive energy of the love. So it can
create a cheerful art and brings out the cheerful
heart.
