The wind at the nose of Oobae" #1303 Ikitsuki Island, Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. View of Oobae from the cliff at the northernmost tip of Ikitsuki Island. （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 each color on the belly of the finger, layering them in a unique order, then smash, rub, and scrape with oil. The artist rubs one color on the belly of the finger, overlaps the colors in a unique order, and then rubs, rubs, and scrapes with oil to create overlaps of color and 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.
