Work Details
I have been creating artworks with the theme of “Hokori no su”. In my words, “Hokori no su” means when a spider leaves its webs unattended for a long time, causing dust particles to accumulate over time.
To me, “Hokori no su” symbolizes the border between this world and the other world. For example, we are surrounded by air. However, we can’t see the air with our naked eyes. In the same way, sometimes I think to myself “Even though we can’t see it, what if another world or dimension exists near us?”. The border between our world and the world that we can’t see but coexist is what I call “Hokori no su”.
The idea of “Hokori no su” acting as a border between a different world comes from the influence of a movie that I watched many times as a child. It's a movie where the main character, an archeologist, embarks on a journey to solve the mysteries of ancient ruins.
In the ruins, everywhere he went, there was a “Hokori no su”. Particularly in Series 3, in the ruins where the Holy Grail lies, he has to pass through several “Hokori no su” before reaching the room where a knight guards the Holy Grail. To me, those veil-like “Hokori no su” seemed like a boundary between multiple different worlds.
A different world may exist only in my imagination, but that world brings me happiness and also brings a feeling where it hurts my heart, and I can’t help but draw the people and the scenery on the other side.

Artist
Born in Tokyo, 1978. Currently studying at Musashino Art University, Faculty of Art and Design, Department of Oil Painting. Works are mainly created using a mixed technique of oil paints, dermatograph, and tempera. Since 2022, “Hokori no su” depicts the border of coexisting multidimensional worlds as a collection of thin lines. By using skulls and not limiting facial expressions or racial characteristics, the viewer will be able to imagine a figure in another dimension, like a mirror image. 2025 Newfound Open Studio 2025, ART FACTORY Jonan-jima, Tokyo Nantan Tokyo OTA OPEN STUDIO 2025, Ota-ku, Tokyo FUJIN-KAI-TEN, Territory Gallery, Tokyo Core 2025, GALLERY AND LINKS81, Tokyo A Moment with David, ART FACTORY Jonan-jima, Tokyo The Square vol.3, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No.1, Kanagawa Solo Exhibition, NEVERLAND FANTASIA, Hiroshige Gallery, Tokyo 2024 Ota-ku open atelier, Ota-ku, Tokyo Open Studio 2024, ART FACTORY Jonan-jima, Tokyo Independent Tokyo 2024, TOKYO PORTCITY TAKESHIBA, Tokyo Things hidden in the deep sea, Gallery Cafe & Bar Ondine, Tokyo Rose and Skull, Gallery Cafe & Bar Ondine, Tokyo 2023 Solo Exhibition, Invisible Coexistence, Gallery Colors, Tokyo 49th International modern art exhibition 2024, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo 2010 Tokyo SUNDUB-Aoyama, Tokyo 2008 Gallery Okarina B, Nezu, Tokyo 2006 HAVE A GOOD EYE 2, New Art Center, New York, NY 2003 Expo ARTEC 2003, Le Carrousel du Louvre, Paris 2001 Kunstkammer 2001, Prague Castle, Prague, the Czech republic 54th Japan Independent, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo Awards 2024 49th International modern art exhibition 2024, Excellence award.
