    Description

    Words heard from the work
    "Know me and swear by me. I only believe that my wish will come true."

    The motif of this work is a mirror, one of the three sacred objects.
    When you visit a shrine, you put your hands together in front of the shrine and face yourself in the mirror.
    The Japanese word for mirror, written in hiragana, is "kagami. Or, to look at it another way, kagami. The character for "kami" has a "me" in it.
    I believe that when we pray at a shrine, we are swearing to ourselves that we will make this wish come true.

    The rabbit fish in the mirror has made a strong wish in its hand, and now with its fins, the rabbit's feet, the symbol of good luck, it is vowing to go on the path to make the wish come true.

    The animal holding the mirror reminds me of a silkworm. The rabbit spinning the thread of good fortune as it moves toward its wish.

    Main painting materials: sumi ink, pigments, watercolor, pen, gouko gesso, Japanese paper, watercolor paper

    Concept

    The various memories and thoughts we encounter, as well as the various emotions and sensations that spread throughout the world of our minds, are depicted in the form of the yokai-like beast "KEMONO".



    We creatures have received various connections, acquired our own unique memories and feelings, and formed our own lives. All connections, all events have created your life. They are your memories and feelings that exist only in your mind.

    And your life is connected to someone else, shaping someone else's life.

    However, as you live your life, these memories and feelings fade away and sink deep into your mind, replaced by new memories.

    KEMONO takes on different forms depending on our memories and emotions, looking into our eyes and asking us to notice the important things that have sunk deep into our hearts.



    I hope that you will look at my work, notice the life that only you have, and live your life.

    I believe that the various things we gain from this life of just living and dying, and being able to be a part of shaping someone's life, is irreplaceable value, treasure, and the meaning of life.

    I will dedicate my life to the cruelty and beauty of this world where there is always life and death and life is cycled, and I will continue to paint.
