Masaaki Miyasako (b. 1951) is a master Nihonga painter acclaimed for his revival of urazashiki; painting on both the back and surface of layered washi paper with rare and vibrant minerals, such as Azurite and Malachite. His artworks are in global collections and the permanent offices of Japan's Prime Minister.
