My work in the last several years is identified by a particular theme, forms and materials. These are influenced by my childhood environment in Northern Japan (for example, rice stalks, rice fields and related ordinary forms from everyday life).
Those are memories that have lost the chance to be drawn out from my mind as a result of my currently living in an environment so remote and disconnected from that of my childhood. It gives me some kind of therapeutic moment by going through those parts of my memory.
My recent interests are shifting away from personal themes; from "I" as a personal human to any given human in the broader physical context ---- where and when we exist in the view of quantum cosmology and the Buddhist view of the structure of the world and how recognize our surroundings through those ideas.
