I am a human first
I happen to be a painter and japanese born
To display life,
and to develop a Big heart
are the most important techniques and goals for me.
I believe
that my paintings follow me and grow
with me
...just because
painting is the voice of my soul.

Black Lives Matter/I wish

I wish someday everybody’s voice will reach.

I wish someday everybody will accept difference.

I wish someday everybody will be treated the same. 

I wish someday everybody will get the equal chances. 

I wish someday justice will win.

I wish someday everybody will pay attentions to the community and the environment. 

We cannot say peace until everybody in a whole world is in safe and peace.

Kindness is the Strongest Power

パンデミックという長期に渡る悲しみと忍耐の戦いから、やっと回復しそうな時に、ロシアとウクライナの戦争という、より暗いニュースが舞い降りてきた。

戦争が始まった頃、ゼレンスキー大統領はウクライナの人々に、「煙の向こうには春がある」と呼びかけた。

今はそれぞれが世界の人々の平和と環境を考えなくてはいけない時。自分さえ良ければいいという考えは捨てて、世界の、未来の人々の幸せ、環境の維持を祈らなければならない。優しさは、武器よりも強く、みんながそれを祈れば、戦争はなくなり、平和に近づく最も早い手段だと信じている。

Just when it seemed we were finally recovering from the long-term pain and struggle of endurance that was the pandemic, even darker news has descended upon us: war between Russia and Ukraine.

When the war began, President Zelenskyy called on the Ukrainian people, saying, "There is spring beyond the smoke."

Now is the time for each of us to think about the peace and environment of the world. We must abandon the idea of thinking only about ourselves, and pray for the happiness of future generations and the preservation of the environment around the world. I believe that kindness is stronger than weapons, and if everyone believes it, it’s the quickest way to move closer to peace.

Stars in Heaven

人生も半分以上過ぎると、今まで飼ったたくさんの動物たちや、出会えた少なからずの人たちが私よりも先に天国に旅立ってしまった。それぞれが私の心で光となって思い出と共に今もしっかりと輝いている。人生はその繰り返しで私の心は優しい光の花でいっぱいになっていく。宇宙はそんな光でいっぱいだ。

After more than a half of my life, many of the pets I have had and some people I have met have left for heaven before me. Each one has become a light in my heart and still shines with memories. Life repeats it and my heart will be filled up with flowers of tender light. The universe is full of such lights.

Technique

音楽でもアニメでも小説でも漫画でも料理でも映画でも絵でも彫刻でも,表現することって、いくら手先の技術があっても、内容とセンスと情熱のある人を超越するのは難しいと思う。そしてそれが何よりもの技術になる。

Whether it's music, anime, novels, comic book, cooking, movies, paintings, sculptures .., any expressions, no matter how much handy skill you have, It’s not easy to beat someone who has content, sense, and passion. And it becomes the most important technique.

出会えたことが宝物

さよならをいくつか経験してきた今、別れるって言うことが怖く無くなってきている自分にふと気づく。

それより出会えたことがはるかに素晴らしいことだと分かった。

死よりも生きていること、別れより、出会えたことの方がずっとずっと尊い。

もうきっと生きてるけど二度と会えない大事な人もいっぱいいるけど、「出会えた」ことが何よりの宝物だ。

そして彼らはいつも私の心の中で生きている。

Meeting you is a treasure.

Now that I’ve experienced a few farewells, I suddenly realize that I’m no longer afraid of farewells.

I’ve realized that meeting someone is far more wonderful.

Living is more precious than death, and meeting someone is far more precious than parting.

There are probably many important people I’ll never meet again in my lifetime, but “I met them” is the most precious no treasure of all. And they are always in my heart.

Voice of My soul

My painting is seasonal. 

I can only paint at that moment, I cannot paint or copy the same again.

Because I am already different from the past. 

My painting is not a design or surface. It's the voice of my soul.

太陽、土、水、空気の力で地球は無限な色、形、音、香り、味、そして生命を創り出し、私たちはそれらをいただきながら自然の中で共存している。それぞれが違いを受け入れ、感謝とやさしさを心に抱けば、それが宇宙の大生命のパワーに繋がっていく。

With the power of the sun, soil, water, and air, the Earth creates an infinite number of colors, shapes, sounds, scents, flavors, and life, and we coexist in nature while enjoying these things. If we each accept our differences and have gratitude and kindness in our hearts, this will connect us to the power of the great life of the universe.

Fame

私は日頃から、有名どころの名前を連ねる人が苦手です。名声は目的にしたり憧れるものではなく、後からついてくるものだと信じるところがあって、追うものではないと思ってます。結果論としてそれを連ねる人だけは本物だと思います。

I've always had a hard time with people who like famous names. Fame isn't something to aspire to or aspire to, I believe it's something that comes later, not something to chase. I think only those who have famous names in hindsight are genuine.
