Bruno, a Japanese Manhattanite, hails from the Tokyo area.
He started going to an allier in Tokyo when he was four. Yet, he became a stock broker upon graduating from college in Tokyo. He started painting extensively only after moving to Chicago from Washington, DC. where he had completed an MBA.
He started painting Japanese men is due mostly to a reaction to him having lived away from his motherland for a long period of time..
He paints certain subjects that the Japanese hardly touch.: he Second World War, the ultimate defeat and relief, unspoken feelings by Japanese men, and invisible social pressure in Post-WWII Japan
