Works
I tend to mostly depict women and children, and many mother-child images.
Through the human form, my goal is to capture the things that cannot be seen by the eye but nevertheless are important, such as feelings about precious things in life and the miracle of life.
I feel a precious love for the childhood days everyone experiences and the time spent with mother and family.
These days are particularly precious because they go by in a blink of the eye.
And through the act of painting, I rediscover fragments of forgotten memories and remember that I am not alone.
Poet Misuzu Kaneko's words, "The first poems were prayers to God," have resided in my heart for many years.
And I believe the same is true for the first paintings.
When I paint something precious, I feel as if I am praying.
