Kyoto, Japan) is an illustrator who graduated from the Illustration Course of the Faculty of Design at Kyoto Seika University. Working chiefly in book cover illustration and advertising, Nakatsuji depicts the beauty of the world as it appears in ordinary, life-sized scenery, heightening it through vivid colour and simplified form in works with titles such as \u003cem\u003ePoolside\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKawadoko\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn the Lake\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCurtain\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eColor Cone\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNakatsuji also records the scenes encountered in daily life through photography, and the illustrations grow out of this habit of noticing.
