For me, this is the life force: a transition between the aggressive material which is the human life and the brightness of every human spirit. This is not just about my art process; it is also my way of life. I believe in purity of life force which can not be spoiled. This pureness touches us and takes us into many hearts. It evokes and brings peace into minds while generating life’s dynamic energies. My research is usually about this sense of life force, but most importantly, it is about focusing on the hidden power of art and its immortality. My preoccupations are tied to my perception of the universe and my interest, which began in my childhood, continues to grow on a daily basis. How come amazing forces repeatedly ge¬nerate, maintain and destruct in the universe and in our life, inexorable processes with both beneficial and detrimental ef¬fects? We are ignoring the natural meanings of the universe and the essential functionalities of life and soul, transforming our daily life into one dominated by aggressiveness, stress and inward tension. My relation to the universe deeply personal. It builds itself ins¬tinctively in my relation to space: the space of the forest, mountain, river, field and sea, and my artwork proliferates from that gestation. The resulting artworks explore installation, sculpture, dying and weaving, painting and calligraphy, including artistic interven¬tion which I have just recently started to discover. I work between the terrains of modern art and tradition. My ar¬twork is guided by my admiration of the genuine traditional art in my home country of Japan, as well as abroad. The authentic creations show and represent strength, beauty, aesthetic awa¬reness and the very primitive senses of nature. These inspire me and give me the necessary strength to create. I am compelled to be united with them; they are indespensible to me.
