About the work and technique
（When Mizuhodori paints, he starts without deciding on anything specific. I try to stop thinking and savor the sensation of each moment of painting. After the painting is completed, I try to put what I feel from the work in writing as an aspect of the work.)
I decided to paint a picture to bring to the "Wesakgate Exhibition" in Kyoto.
I didn't decide "Let's paint this! I decided to paint this picture with the "feeling" I had when I went to Kurama Mountain the year before the exhibition.
I was looking forward to seeing what would come out.
I was immersed in the comfort of the hot summer, remembering the view in the woods, a little cool and pleasant, with the sunlight glistening through the trees.
Soon I had a vigorous line that filled the entire canvas and something alive in the middle, but then I didn't feel like continuing, so I left it in my room untouched for a few days.
I spent some time painting another picture, resting and playing, and suddenly I saw a smudge of paint on another piece.
There was a small section of the painting where I had put paint chips of various colors while the paint was still soft, and I was inspired to do more of this! I wanted to do more of this!
In my mind, it was different from pointillism, and I wanted to call it "mussels.
I thought it would be nice to have soft grains that are glossy and have a three-dimensional feel, gathered irregularly and stuck together.
Grains that are partially fused together, but not too mixed up, and not a well-organized dot.
I wanted to put a lot of such grains on this painting, which I had not worked on for several days, so I resumed production.
The grains were put on at once in a very pleasant way, and it was completed.
It became a very energetic and absorbing painting.
There is a sense of a fresh breeze blowing through it, and it also feels like it is glistening.
Receive energy from the painting as you feel it.
