I create Japanese paintings with the theme of [Nature and Decoration].
I create Japanese-style paintings that express shimmer and brilliance, mainly using people and flowers as my subjects.
I use sumi (Japanese ink), gold leaf, and traditional Japanese painting techniques to create my works.
I use sumi ink, gold leaf, and other traditional Japanese painting materials, and make the most of the ground of Japanese paper.

Although I mainly depict female figures in my paintings, I am always looking forward to the next challenge.
I draw mainly women, but I try to portray a person who looks forward and has strong willpower even in adversity, regardless of gender.
The hair is painted in layers of thin black ink to create a deep black color, and the eyes, nose, and mouth are painted with needlepoint.
The eyes, nose, and mouth are painted stroke by stroke with a fine, needle-like faceted brush, as if I were applying makeup.

Flowers have various aspects from the beginning of blooming to their withering beauty like dried flowers.
I draw them while comparing them to time and the life of a flower.
I draw the intonation and curves of each petal with care, and I draw the movement of the petals while respecting space.
I strive to create a picture with movement while respecting the space.

In addition, I have also been using the Western technique of gold tempera as a reference, heaping up traditional Japanese patterns with gold leaf to create a three-dimensional effect, and creating a two-dimensional Japanese-style painting.
I also create three-dimensional works by using the Western technique of golden tempera as a reference point, and adding variety to two-dimensional Japanese paintings.
He creates his works by interweaving the beauty of Japanese oriental art, such as the beauty of blank spaces, and the decorative art of Western painters such as Klimt and Mucha.
