Namiki is overwhelmingly known for his images of trees, often travelling to the actual location of a giant tree to sketch the subject before the printing process. He uses a combination of unique vibrant colours for the trees and as background works with a special gold or silver leaf creating an exquisite effect which lifts the trees from their background. His early works often contain Mount Fuji as background with several trees in the foreground, while his more recent works concentrate on one specific tree.
