ONO spent time recording life in fishing villages in Tohoku and Hokkaido; he had a unique method of using a brush to scrape off rock pigment placed on hardened chalk - the restrained monochramtic expression this produced is evaluated highly. In his later life, ONO created the "Landscape of Memory" series, and received the Minister of Culture's Art Award for his work, "The 2.26 Incident". |
