I painted on the granite. Before I painted, shaved the granite for fixing a paint. A term of the work is about one month.

At first I resarched the buddhism and Shinto about one year. Many Japanese people don't know about buddhism and Shinto, even if they do a ceremony of buddhism or Shinto. It's also I was.

Therefore I received instruction about them from the chief priest of the temple.

One of the motif, the lotus flower means represents creation and strength. It grows under the water in muddy swamps and rises to the surface as a really beautiful flower.
素材は御影石。墓石ということで、仏教と神道について、リサーチを含め1年以上の制作期間。着色の前には御影石を削り、色が密着する状態にする。
モチーフのひとつの蓮の花は蓮の花は泥水の中からすっとまっすぐに水面に顔を出し、綺麗な花を咲かせるため、創造と強さを象徴。

The back of this work, I imaged that the world around many flowers and the sea for ever and ever, just like the human heart.

What impressed me most about this work was the grave is the possession for the person who visit one.

So I painted with wish that the person who standing this grave become smile.
作品の裏側は、多くの華で球体の世界を包み込む。下に当たる部分は、どこまでも深く広く続く海のよう、人の心になぞらえ描かれた。

*Cajon (The musical instrument)/ カフォーン(楽器)

The cajon is a musical instrument that believed to have originated in Peru. It was African native drums.The musical instrument has evolved considerably from it's origins as a discarded wooden box.

Japanese folklore says that jumping rabbits stay in the full moon. I painted my imagination of the harvest moon and imaginary animals, the dragon and phoenix.


カフォーンは、木で出来ておりペルー発祥、アフリカのドラムとして使われていた打楽器。その楽器に日本の民話の満月に飛ぶウサギや伝説上の龍や鳳凰が描かれた。
