Hibari no koe (The sound of the hibari), Opus #1310, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Landscape of spring grass along the creek that flows like a net through the Saga Plain. The original drawing method (KOOSAIHO) is to use nine colors of oil crayon (oil pastel), adding white to the eight colors of the rainbow (rainbow color + red/purple), and to rub one color on the belly of the finger, focusing on the colors of the rainbow that permeate the natural world. The artist rubs one color at a time on the belly of the finger, overlaps the colors in a unique order, smashes them with oil, rubs, and scrapes to create layers of colors, and attempts to approach the deep colors of the natural world. The red bridge that crosses the northernmost point of Nagasaki Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan, is the Hirado Bridge. The Ikitsuki Island is across the sky-blue bridge that comes into view when crossing the Hirado Island. I fell in love with the nature of this Ikitsuki Island and am currently in the process of opening a gallery in the northernmost part of the island (2024.9). All of his works are one-of-a-kind. The impression changes depending on the place (light source) where you look at them due to the layering effect of rainbow colors.
