Kenshin Co.,ltd. Art Of War
Our company has been in Tokyo for over 20 years and has both "KENSHIN" and "ART OF WAR" brands. 1) KENSHIN - Convey the beauty of art of Japan to the World 2) ART OD WAR® - Our theme is “Battle”. We don’t make products simply to be sold; we create works-of-art that will last one hundred years. We research, and reproduce Japanese culture, art, history and armor. Plan, manufacture, sell, and provide consultancy services related to Japanese culture and samurai. We also develop IP business by making the most of it. As a licensee of BERSERK, we are proud to create the world's top-quality products. And licensor of our own original IP: Samurai Animals™.[Corporate philosophy]- Since our establishment, we have consistently pursued the beauty of the formative arts from the Sengoku (Warring States) Period. The Sengoku Period (spanning from the later half of the Muromachi Period to the early Edo Period) represented a time of rapid change and growth in Japanese political, military and economic affairs. Globally, this was also a period of change, especially during the later-half of the Sengoku Period; a time that coincided with transitional changes taking place in Europe. We can value the large influence that such global change had through the arrival on Japan's shores of the so-called barbarian culture. Transformations also occurred in the fields of culture and the arts that gave eventual birth to groundbreaking and exceptional beauty. This led to Zen philosophy that had a profound influence on many fields, including tea ceremony, dress, paintings and architecture. The result has been a significant legacy for future generations. Building on the basic common ideas and modelling styles from this legacy, KENSIN creates works of art and provides services with a fresh approach. Demonstrating a level of reproduction unseen till now, we hope our creations will touch the hearts of as many people as possible.

Yuen Ling Laurence Art
My painting life started when I relocated to Singapore in 2004. My childhood wish was immediately fulfilled when I joined the class of Mr. Nai Swee Leng, who is the fourth-generation disciple of the great master Wu Changshuo. This xieyi style, which is freely expressive and interpretive, has guided me to express myself through the play of ink and water, with or without colours, without being meticulous in liberating my emotions. I am happy that all my life experience (studies, work & intercultural) has led me to come back to my love of Chinese painting, where I incorporate nature, poetry and calligraphy in a single painting.
