The ‘By Night’ Acrylic Series
Pronounced “Ayatsuna Hitoka” (あやつな ひとか)
Each 絢繋 | 人華 painting is part of a 33-piece collection intended to grow in personal and cultural value over time.
Ayatsuna Hitoka is about colour, coordination, and the bonds which tie us together.
- Smooth as vinyl, meaningful as music.
- Acrylic on high quality, 30x30cm canvas board.
- Limited series of 33 – hand painted, numbered and signed by the artist.
- Avoid sticking anything directly to the artwork — shelve it, frame it, or use clips.
Colour-wise, the “By Night” series is my starting point.
The first song on my latest music release carries the theme of a new beginning – a rebirth – and it also carries the same name – By Night.
Black and gold is subtle, restrained, cosmic and refined – and it leaves room for increasingly vivid colour combinations for my future series.

Blockchain Investment Options
For collectors interested in establishing on-chain provenance, I freely offer an optional NFT counterpart to each physical piece in the series.
These NFTs are minted via the Foundation platform and are intended to serve as a digital certificate of ownership – a public record that mirrors the transfer of the real artwork.
Each NFT is only minted after a painting has been acquired in real life. While they are designed to coexist with the physical piece, NFT ownership is transferable and can technically be resold or gifted independently of the painting.
Please note that should you accept my optional NFT offer, your ownership – both physical and digital – would become a matter of public record.
Whether you view that as an extra layer of authenticity, or unwanted publicity – is completely up to you.
