Description

From the 72 solar terms of the 24 solar terms, "kazu hajimete no naku".

We put cute tights on the frogs.
With a splash of sparkling lame, it dives into the water, finding happiness and fun.

Though we can't see them, we are connected.
It is precisely because we cannot see them that we love them.
I create works on Japanese themes such as the universal nature of the forest, 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.
