The Way of Conservation and Restoration
尾形 純 - Jun Ogata After returning to Japan from the United States, I started producing and exhibiting artworks, and launched the conservation studio "Tokyo Conservation" in Tokyo, modeled on the conservation studio I spent in New York. As a representative of the conservation studio, I work with a unique staff on various painting restoration projects, from art galleries and museums, public facilities and corporate art, galleries to private collectors. In recent years, I have been actively involved in the research and restoration of war paintings and the restoration of paintings damaged by heavy rain disasters.

The Ability in Both the Literary and Martial Arts
In the early 1980s, when I enrolled in the high school in Tokyo, I entered a Chinese martial arts dojo. I studied under the late Takio Nishigori, an ancient martial artist. I learned the Neijia martial arts, including Chen Pan Ling-style taijiquan, as well as ancient Japanese martial arts. And I received the family tradition martial arts handed down in the Taiwanese family.
The long-standing teacher-student relationship with Master Nishigori was spanned more than a quarter of a century, and the training, along with my production and exhibition activities, became the spiritual, ideological, and physical backbone of my lifelong creation.
