Kunihiko Nohara (born February 13, 1982) is a Japanese artist and sculptor. Born in Hokkaido, Japan, Nohara graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Hiroshima City University in 2005 and attended its graduate school for sculpture where in 2007 he earned hist Master of Fine Art in Sculpture. Nohara mostly creates wooden sculptures using camphor and zelkova trees. Additionally, he creates paintings using wood as a medium. Nohara’s motifs are a combination of abstract images and brilliant colors, adding an avant-garde taste to the powerfulness of wooden sculptures. Swimming caps and goggles are distinctive attributes of the characters that Nohara creates.[1]

Since exhibiting in an art fair in Hong Kong 2010, Nohara has exhibited in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and other locations in Asia. In 2016, Nohara had his large-scale solo exhibition in Hsinchu, Taiwan.[citation needed]
