ART WORK
"Kotohogi"(=celebration).
Recent years, I increased sketching flowers blooming outdoors. At the same time, from the role of the environment surrounding flowers and it, I felt even more things. Flowers shape and color are born in harsh and beautiful natures. The richness of the mind and heart. There the same environment as the motifs and me, I found it. Things born from face harsh, I feel that it's represents life. The richness beyond the shape of the motifs, I'd like to draw it. The word "Kotohogi"(=celebration). I instinctively thought of like threads, that can pass through to all works (Phoenix, scattered flowers, flowers of the four seasons etc.).
Recently, I started using this word to works. I would like to use this word as an expression about myself and the work.
