Title: 神戸港
Medium: Photo
Size: 21x29.7(cm)
Year: 2009
日本人は京都が好きな人が多いが、それと同じように海外の古い街並みも好きな人は多いです。
ここで日本と海外の事情で異なるのは日本にはもうあまり古い街並が(欧米ほど)残っていないことです。
でもそれを了承したのは他でもない日本人。
戦後から現在まで奇跡的に残った財産ともいえる風景を経済復興の名の下で破壊し
「自由に」「個性的に」作られたのが現在の街並みです。
日本が豊かとされる時代に生まれた自分にとってなぜ日本はこのような選択をしてしまったのか。
そんなとき、偶然見かけた古い写真に強い衝撃を受けました。
なぜならその写真には今の日本人が好きな海外の風景の日本版がそこにはあったからです。
この作品の構成として、古い神戸の波止場の写真とほぼ同じであろう場所で現在の風景を撮影。
それを合成することで約100年前の風景をここまで変えてしまったという違いの認識と同時に
もし現在その風景が残っていたならこんな風に見えていたのかな?と想起してもらうことを
目的に、本作品を製作しました。
Title: Kobe port
Medium: Photo
Size:8.3×11.7(inch)
Year: 2009
In Japan,
there are many people who like Kyoto but also those who like old town in foreign countries.
The difference between Japan and foreign countries is that, in Japan, there are not so many old towns left.
But it was Japanese people themselves who chose it.
Current “free” and “unique” town was made by destroying miraculously remained scenery after the war under the name of economic recovery.
I was born in Japan of wealthy age and why did Japanese make such decision?
When I was thinking such thing, I was shocked with an old photo I saw by chance.
Because it showed the Japanese version of the current Japanese people’s favorite foreign scenery.
As the structure of this artwork,
I took the picture of current scenery at where it seems to be the same place as in the old photo of Kobe port.
By mixing these 2 photos,
I tried to make viewers recognize how the scenery has changed and also how it would look if such scenery remained.

Contemporary Artist
My work is guided by the shifting moods of the "now." Each project begins with a unique theme and approach, leading to a diverse collection that may seem visually disconnected. Yet, beneath the surface, a consistent trace of emotion and atmosphere remains. I invite you to experience these intangible threads that tie my creations together. At first glance, my work lacks a unified style, often leading people to ask, "Did the same person really create all of this?" or "What exactly are you trying to express?" To be honest, I intentionally craft my work so that it eludes a single, clear-cut image. My goal has always been to create a body of work where, upon looking back, one might only catch a vague, flickering sense of—"Perhaps this belongs to that artist." This concept has remained steadfast since I first began creating. By doing so, I believe I can maintain a vast expressive range without boundaries. I prioritize the raw impulse and the urge to express above all else. I have no desire to be pigeonholed into a fixed artist persona or to have my work become easily predictable. I invite you to first explore my works as a whole; through that experience, I believe you will begin to perceive the essence of what I am reaching for. I am a contemporary artist. To me, "contemporary" is something fluid and undefined. I hope you find joy in that very uncertainty—in the hazy, beautiful ambiguity of it all.
