Description

A blue dragon guarding the east (spring).
The red dragon protects the south (summer).
The white dragon protects the west (autumn).
The black dragon protects the north (winter).

Dragons are often depicted as scary and powerful.
But in reality, they are gentle divine beasts that protect us.
I depicted such a figure.

Though we cannot see them, we are connected to them.
It is precisely because we cannot see them that they are so dear to us.
I create my works on Japanese themes such as "all things in the universe," "flowers, birds, wind, and the moon," "the five elements of yin-yang," and "the 24 solar terms.
I want to connect them in this painting.

Concept

About 10 years ago, I published a book describing my experiences visiting the most famous shrine in Japan, Ise Jingu, and 125 related shrines. I also became interested in ancient Japanese mythology in which the deities of these shrines appear, and have now visited over 200 shrines. Through this experience, I have come to embrace the ancient Japanese concept that all things in the forest are inhabited by gods.

I also draw inspiration from the primitive shapes of Jomon pottery, the rich design of the Rimpa school, and the flat landscapes depicted in the ukiyoe prints of the Edo period.

I love fashion and want to use beautiful patterns and colors in my work. I want to fill the world with love through layers of beautiful colors and express the fact that we are not alone.
