"Daikichi Amano's art is a combination of Jean. Cocteau and Jacques Cousteau" MARILYN MANSON

Daikichi Amano being touted as "Modern Hokusai Katsushika". Daikichi Amano is one of the most important visual artists among the artists actively working in Japan. His works have drawn attention even from outside of Japan. What surprises us is the fact that the beauty of Daikichi Amano’s works never ceases to attract fans, despite of them being so vivid and creepy. His solo exhibitions held in Italy, Germany, Canada, France and Japan caused a sensation. He also won cult fans from all over the world through the Internet. Works of Daikichi Amano caught eye of world class famous artists including Marilyn Manson, Gaspar Noé, a director, Riccardo Tisci, the head designer of Givenchy, etc. and he had worked collaboratively. A group of photographs of Daikichi Amano depicts a hidden world of fantasy that exists within himself.It is a fantasy derived from something to do with animistic, beast like or atavism that occur in nature, and this fantasy evokes instinctive fear and desire as a human being. The human body he creates is an object of worship to which its one of a kind rare beauty is praised, at the same time, the body is fused with the natural world and becomes malformed. The body which was fused with a tree, blood, bones and scales would become erotic and grotesque, and ever intense black humor is featured clearly in this incredibly horrible diorama. The origin of the works is in the iconography and mythology of traditional Japanese culture. In one piece of photo, he would turn a girl into a legendary creature. Works of Daikichi Amano are attempting not only to expose what is on the other side of the closed doors, but also to show us something that lurks under the skin, amid our overwhelming curiosity and desire of wanting to see things that are forbidden to see.
