Kissui
The Kissui association Kissui aims to share its passion for Asian cultures and offers various activities focused on specific aspects. For example: Light Novels, the game of Go, nunchakus, the shakuhachi flute, or mythology. We also recently launched a virtual exhibition space to allow independent artists to showcase their work for free.
We will also have the pleasure of offering the first volume of our original Light Novel—a heroic fantasy creation written entirely by our members, with a slightly quirky twist!
Kudnalla
Self-taught artist and lifelong enthusiast of Japanese culture, I traded office desks for paintbrushes by exhibiting at manga conventions.
I explore various techniques and materials, on canvas or paper, to create a universe blending dreams and poetry. My works are inspired by my favorite anime characters and are a subtle play of light and shadow.
Join me on this journey under the stars and let yourself be carried away by my inspiration!
