Work Details

A keyaki board used in the floorboards of old houses.

Tree rings are layered over a long period of time

It was already engraved in this tree.

The outline of the board also looks like a dragon's head.

Instead of emphasizing that shape,

The flow was drawn inside to follow the outline.

Rather than saying that dragons were drawn,

The shape that was originally there

It's close to the feeling that appears on the surface.

Tree rings are a record of time,

At the same time, it is also a boundary that separates the inside from the outside.

Inside, a trend with the motif of a gateway to success was born.

This work was exhibited at the temple.

Time to have a place,

The time the tree has been wrapped up overlaps,

Only the outline stood up quietly.

Kemono Painter (kemono graphy)

There are mysterious powers in nature. They seem to be visible and invisible, and their existence is unstable, and I feel them and visualize them through my work I'm trying it out. The theme of my work is the world of nature, mythology, and the invisible senses. Patterns and colors that emerge when looking at living things from a unique viewpoint — these are named “kemonography (chemography)” and recorded. Produced at the atelier and gallery “Kemono” in Senmaya, Iwate Prefecture. Through exhibitions and exhibiting at events, I depict the harmony between fantasy and reality. In 2004, he had a strange experience (surrounded by pale light), and then began production activities after being unable to help drawing pictures. solo exhibition 2016 Kemono (Kemono) Gallery Chloe Kemono Shiroi Human Exhibition (SEA CANDEL COFFEE) Miyagi 2017 Kemono (Kemono) Gallery Noten Shizuku Exhibition (SEA CANDEL COFFEE) Miyagi 2018 KEMONO GALLERY in TAIPEI “Dumb Beast” Taipei 2019 Kemono Gallery: The Flesh of the Fierce Angel Iwate 2021 Kemono no Daichi Exhibition Iwate Group Exhibitions 2014 JADIF Selected Exhibition, Setagaya Art Museum, Tokyo 2015 JADIF SELECTION EXHIBITION SETAGAYA MUSEUM OF ART TOKYO 2016 JADIF Selected Exhibition, Setagaya Art Museum, Tokyo 2017 ~ Senmaya Honcho Art Festival Senmaya Honcho Shopping Street Iwate 2022 Cross Over Japanese Art Collective Bangkok 2023 INTERVENTIVE INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION M.A.D.S ART GALLERY MILAN Collaboration (design, live painting, etc.) 2004 ~ Vol 11 Chalumnae 3D Fes Live Paint Miyagi Shana Rishana Rhythm CD Jacket Design Tokyo 2014-2015 painting exhibition.
