Still my Japanese origin is very important to me and through my imagination and creative endeavors, I inevitably reflect my culture. My paintings are based on the mystery of life, death and love and I feel that the past, the present and the future are like a circle all connecting as one. All of my lifetime efforts, vision and passion in the making of my work are based on that concept.
