He graduated from Tama Art University in 2009. Imai first started to do oil painting when he was in middle school. He entered the school's art club and began to paint with oil paints more vigorously and decided to further study more about painting in high school. After he learned about the technical aspects of oil painting in high school he started to study and explore how to paint portraits in his own style. Imai works with traditional oil painting techniques and commonly captures the shading of light which gives a provocative and melancholy atmosphere to his art. His female portraits possess a sense of mystery and otherworldliness due to their soft and quiet facial expressions and body language. Imai expertly managed to capture the moment of the subjects in deep thoughts through his paintings. Imai explained 'A photograph is able to capture a moment in the past yet paintings are able to capture anywhere and anything in existence. Paintings neither belong to a particular space of time nor are they about to express universal existence.' Imai focuses a lot on the quality of his works and only produces a few exclusive artworks each year. He has participated in international exhibitions such as the Young Art Taipei 2011 and Art Beijing 2012. He is currently an associate member of Hakujitsukai an exclusive group of artists focused on Western art. <br/> <br/> Gei-Shin Co. paperback

This was also Nelson's first independent fleet command and the author shows the development of his command style and the forging of the esprit de corps which was later to triumph at Trafalgar. It also provides a fascinating and detailed insight into the nature and conditions of naval war in the Age of Sail from the strain felt by fleet commanders isolated from higher authority and starved of information of the enemy to the daily lives of the sailors and the tactics used in battle. --Source: Publisher ; Brian Lavery is a British naval historian author and Curator Emeritus at the National Maritime Museum Greenwich London England. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> Caxton Editions hardcover

The author has the rather paranoid view that during most of the 20th century "Western" art was somehow assaulting "traditionalist" Iranian painting. "It was under such grave portentious circumstances that several talented truthful artists arisen from among the common population and backed by the perennial legacy of original Iranian art set upon paving the ground for the emergence of a new artistic approach which was to become famous as 'coffee-house' painting." The heavy hand of the mullahs can obviously be seen behind the textual analysis as can a sort of faux-populism. <br/> <br/> Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran hardcover
