言霊 Kotodama

The Kotodama artworks depict "Patterns of the Heart,"
expressed with abundant hues and freeform strokes.

Exploring the power of words, I embarked on my
artistic journey.Challenging myself to discover
their meaning as I layer the colors.

I believe words have power, and trust they are
the source of determination—a reflection of my
unwavering will.

Thus, I embody the power in words with layer
upon layer of color. And Kotodama imbues my work,
resonating with those it encounters.

武士道 Bushidō

My Bushidō artworks embody discipline and rigor,
portraying "kakugo and ketsudan.”
Amid the turbulence of the pandemic, it reflects human
aesthetics that I felt were necessary at that time.

There are two distinct types of Bushidō pieces: the "One
Stroke (of the sword)” pieces, painted with a limited color
palette and a single stroke, and the “Ephemeral” pieces
that use natural phenomena as motifs.

One must approach the work with desperate resolve when
wielding the brush. I shed all distractions and become
the line.

In the instant when paint touches the canvas, it ignites
into the realm of art with a palpable tension.

Bushidō is not an ancient code of ethics; it still lives
in our hearts as an object of strength and beauty.

Making Kotodama works, I understand the weight and
strength of words, giving birth to these pieces.

石紋様 Ishi Monyō

The ishi monyō the traditional
spiral motif of kanze-mizu..
The spiral represents the rhythm of life itself.
In Japanese culture, the serene beauty of
Japanese gardens and
bonsai encapsulates the beauty and
harshness of nature,
offering an unparalleled sense of awe.
Walking toward glory, no destination will
ever be the final goal.
Each milestone reveals something
new—something else lies ahead.
And so, the journey continues.
The finish line becomes the starting line,
the source of our passion.
A masterpiece through traditional craftsmanship.
