ARTIST INTERVIEW

“I was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1949. I have begun to study fine art since I was four years old. My parents were both junior high school teachers and they loved art and English. After I graduated from two Universities, I have traveled Nepal ,Tibet and started to paint unique paintings being influenced by the experiences there. My art works hold universal and spiritual values within their culture. I also have traveled Thai and India where this experience has affected my values in life. After coming back from the travels, I settled down to live in Yoshino, Nara where I lived self-sufficiently while focusing on my paintings and I have been actively participating in international art fairs. My artworks are exhibited in not only Japan, but also in France, U.S.A. Nepal, Argentine and Taiwan. I moved to Osaka in 2000 and I came to be interested in contemporary art. I think that U.S is the country where I have participated in the international art fairs most frequently so far.”
