Rain, wind, snow, cloud, moon, water.
These words mean natural phenomena,
but are also an expression of Japanese Spirits.
Ancient Japanese people thought that natural phenomena
was a message from ganother worldh.
My works, printed on paper, are an expression of the relationship
between ganother worldh and hthis worldh.
Sometimes, that relationship is a little humorous.
The print on paper is very fragile, and will fade out in the distant
future.
These works will all go to ganother worldh someday.
I love things that are in this world only momentarily;
things that will be nothing in the distant future.
Because of that, I choose to make prints on paper.
TECHNIQUE
My works are printed on gTosa washihpapers, which are a special product
of
the Kochi prefecture in Japan.
My printing method is color lithography.
I draw the images using crayon and ink, and print
about 12 colors in one work.
