I have made the work of art from 1997 to 2013 in the Kawaguchi studio.
The theme of a work was a field.
Although it was an occurrence at the time of having still created in the united atelier,
I have done several times mysterious experience exchanged for AURA which the place has.
Those days, I was being devoted to work of the original-work material
which
pasted paper with glue and was fixed with the tack.
The studio was for south.
Therefore, it was warm all day long and sunlight was great.
From early morning, I was not able to trouble in miscellaneous matters
but coud work in this atelier. Satoyama was in the circumference,
and when I was tired with work, I took a walk in that.
Usually I used the andesite outputted in Sukagawa-shi, Fukushima.

Glue mouth
Life
seems to have prepared me a wonderful gift.
Now,
my wife's big mouth, a little bit of sneezing, the end is the torn
mouth of the dog Kotaro.
The
size of the gauze spreads and spreads from the artist, making time,
money, and thinking into a plan,
I'm
trying to get the sculptor back on the street.
I am surrounded by such beggar creatures, protect my soul
and man's romance, friendship from my daily life and habit.
In order to continue producing pure art that is said to be
"not money",
it is necessary to be prepared for death.
My life is intoxicated, sweetened, betrayed,
can not be abandoned,
rushing in different positions and ways, as I sought it.
If this happens, I can no longer laugh at Don Quijote! .

Power
supply
I get tools little by little and work carefully with
compressors
and
electricity.
It has been two years since I moved to Kawaguchi
Kobo,
but I have been working without using electricity.
It
was a nice thing to be familiar with the material and to have a
dense
relationship, but it must be inconvenient.
The
good thing is that I didn't have to make a lot of works
that I often use cutters and grinders. Being able to own time
to make works slowly and slowly.
1st DEC CLOUDY 1998
In
a public cemetery.
A
beautiful, light day with a refreshing early winter.
I was rushing uphill to meet him and realize his project.
Someone who has the desire to make his own tomb while alive.
After
all life is sad.
I have been a little late.
When I
arrived there, he and his daughter were waiting
for me at the entrance of a pleasant public cemetery
where you can see Mt. Fuji, which was
first made in Hachioji.
He
has lived on the railway for a long time,
and is a very famous person who has served
as
the head of many Station.
It seems that the request for me is
to make a tomb
that images the Hikari No. zero.
If I said in the beginning that the load was too heavy
to do very much, that was it.
Let
me think about my plan without thinking
about
my height. I
said that.
Certainly I can carve a stone.
Isn't it impossible
to make a tomb?
"I
don't know myself. It's something I do not know."
Because
I don't know anything about tombs and temples.
I have to be aware that this kind of casual act
is my major drawback.

Long distance runner
I'm
somehow devouring and carving from June, every day
I'm
struggling to see, I have to look at it.
It's an opportunity
to start playing with a piece of stone,
so
there should be no ambition to try making a great art.
Moreover,
it is a reckless work because it tries to engrave
the
relief that has not been carved until now.
Carving for a few
hours of my hand, "What a bad job.",
I can not accept the feeling of depression and distracts me,
"I can not do something like this." .
However, when it is not good, it doesn't matter how much I carve it.
It is useless. And the inner voice mutters,
"I have no talent," and I can hear an impatient voice.
If you think so, you will be weak yourself.
I've been engraving since June, and I can't really
bounce back at this level of work.
The
one in front of you is certainly something that my hand formed,
but it is not something that you can be proud of if this is my work.
