Description

The earth-patterned Uchikake is filled with my desire to deal with the theme of Hanakai (courtesans). An extension of the times. Life born on earth in the same country. Wearing the earth and thinking of the universe filled with endless possibilities, the "oiran" figure signifies liberation and reincarnation from an implied dark history. As a place for those who were forced to leave their place, we have reincarnated them in a painting like a flower that continues to bloom strongly.

From a time when there was no choice, to a time when there is an abundance of choice, "Hanakai in earth-patterned Uchikake dancing freely in the world. The era in which I was born is a cage of 80 years. We have freed these women (oiran) from their historical backgrounds and reborn them into art that only reincarnates their beauty, and we will continue to add captions to them as often as we can.

Concept

I don't let ART end up as ART.
In the course of my activities as a painter, I have painted in a variety of environments other than on canvas.
Sometimes on a large wall in the city, sometimes on a shutter in a shopping district. In the midst of all this, one thought became stronger day by day. There are still things my ART can do. ART is something that is there for a while, but sometimes it attracts people, connects them, and eventually they want it to "stay there forever". The dots of ART that I create connect one person, one second, and blend into the city, life, and history. That is the form of ART I am aiming for.
