Bamboos in Japan. The winds come through amang the bamboos make us feel good. Especially in the morning.
They heals our sorrow. They give us the quietness. And they give us the feeling of peace.
Morning lights come through between the bamboos are the gift from sun.

Trees in the night. If you see carefully, all trees are dancing with trousers and pantaloons.
Fairies are also coming to dance in high spirits.

Wound of body. Wound of heart. Injured pride. Diseases. We may face it someday. I hope not. But maybe near future? But if we stand up to these difficulties, we can surely see the ressurection of hope someday. While there is life, there is hope.

Actually just next day of our visit for friend at the hospital in CA, unexpectedly we saw very injured beautiful red butterfly at the front yard of our house. So I had big inspiration of this painting. This is the history why I painted this.
First painting of this was presented to our close friend in the U.S.A. several years ago. But after that I missed it a lot. So that I painted second one.^0^ And still I have it on the wall of our house in Japan. ^0^

The bitter truth and hurt mind.
All I know about "the light" was fiction??
I retrace my past steps. But nothing I can see.
Maybe I came already too far from "the light".

Nymph, Nereid, Naiad, Dryad, Sylvan, Gnome, Salamander, Oread, Sylph.
All beautiful girls of half god, half human.
Since very long time ago, we are believing Nymph exists.
Maybe if you have pure mind, if you are naivete, if you are childlike and if you have simplicity, you can see them and talk to them someday.
They are always very close to you in the nature.
But depends on yourself if you can see them or not.

Great moon with unknown flowers.(From my imagination.)
I was completely overwhelmed by big moon.

But nobody could win this power. Nobody.

Spring is coming. Still out side is cold enough sometimes.
But you can hear the foot steps of spring certainly.
All buds of trees and flowers were already sprouting even a bit.
And everything is exhilarating. And we hum a song of our own accord.
Good season spring.

Every moment, my hearts leaps up. My heart pops away.

Hot summer breeze pass through thin bamboo trees.
This wind gives us an illusion of fluffy feeling.

I have one thing I've locked away from other world. It is my "special egg".
It's something I'm treasuring from out side.
Nobody can find and touch it. Nobody can open it.
Just only I know how to open it, and how important it is.
I know you also have at least one your special egg with you.
Sometimes just you might not find it yet. But surely you have.

There is surely one door for the future which everybody has.
You may find it, or may not. But it depends on yourself.
There is no late for serching it. No relation with your age.
Everytime it's open?? Also depends on you.
Why you do not looking for it? Not too late.

One warm spring day. I have an expensive afternoon.
Passing a day alone. Nobody is disturbung me.
Many flowers and blossoms were fluttering about in the wind. Dancing and dancing.

How quiet day, how leisurely time.
