This is the 12th work in the Monjiro series.
The motifs of the motifs are painted by Fujimoto's common technique of "layering and grinding acrylic paints".
For this work, Fujimoto created a design from an Edo period "Akikusa Pattern" pattern.
On the other hand, I did not stick to only traditional Japanese colors in coloring, but composed layers with color schemes that inspired me from the pattern of the material.
This work presents a calm sensuality.
The pattern created from the motif's pattern is transferred to the canvas, layered with a layer composition of paints that match the pattern and the work, and then ground while applying water with water-resistant sandpaper.
The image of the motif and the coloring of the paint are repeatedly checked and ground until the best balance between the two is achieved.
After the canvas is carefully prepped with ground coats on both the front and back sides, it is once stretched on a temporary board.
More than 20 layers of paint are applied to the screen side, including partial and solid layers, as a depiction.
The work is completed on the temporary board, cleaned and dried after completion, and then stretched on a wooden frame.
The screen is smooth and can be wiped clean with a dish towel.
One of the characteristics of a painting is to make full use of its "multilayered magic.
I found a way to do this in 1999, in line with my desire since the time I started to create.
Since then, I have been exploring the possibilities of painting with a consistent method of "layering and grinding acrylic paints.
