Hikaru HirataFirst and foremost, Hikaru is a citizen of the archetypal world without boundaries. Although he was born in Japan in 1961, and part of him embodies the genuine Japanese aesthetic (his maternal great grandfather was an Imperial court-appointed artisan), Hikaru cannot be defined through the folk-tribal-race oriented identities. He has lived in the United Sates for more than 28 years. His initial training in art, music, and writing came through his mother, and his love for Euro-American culture has continued to grow since the age of four. Like Leonardo da Vinci, whom Hikaru has followed since he was eleven, he is a man of many expressions: art, dance, music, acting, writing, and teaching as a Waldorf (Steiner school) teacher. As an artist, Hikaru is a true Mannerist. While his work shows the mastery of 'grazia,' as defined by Baldassare Castiglione, the juxtaposition of the complex subjects and images equal that of Bronzino or Pontormo.
