Greetings from the artist

Recently, I have come to appreciate the works of other people's paintings. It does not matter if they are painted by children or adults. I am trying to figure out why. If I pursue this question further, it may become a question of what art is. Is it because of my age? What is my challenge as a Japanese artist?

Nevertheless, thanks to all of you, I feel happy to receive such warm support. Moreover, I am sincerely grateful to all of you for creating an environment in which I can continue to create my artwork.

I have chosen a few solid works. We sincerely hope that you will take a look at them.
