<Sunazawa Bikki>
Asahikawa-born Bikki Sunazawa (1931-1989) developed a wide range of creative activities, from dynamic large-scale woodcarvings to craft works carved with delicate patterns, to improvised drawings.
Between creative projects, Bikky would retreat to his study to read. His collection of books is diverse, including works by his friend Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, as well as art such as surrealism, folk art from around the world, and works depicting the coexistence of humans and nature. Some of these works share themes and motifs with Bikky's own works, providing insight into the trends in art and literature in the 20th century, during which he lived.
