THE WORKS BEFORE PAINTING MAIKO
As I wrote in the beginning of my blog, “When I was young,” before 2010, I was lost in the subject of drawing, pursued it, and created it.
Also, I could not become a painter and continued to create as a side job. Still, what kind of picture should I draw? What is the picture I drew going to be? What is it worth? Is it necessary to draw it? I had a lot of worries like a writer, and overcoming this was the biggest challenge.
From some time ago, in the casual lives around us, there are things that people and Japanese people want to keep in mind, things that they should not forget, and things that they want to cherish. I started to think that I would focus on that kind of point and express it (although not all of them). Based on the above ideas, I would like to introduce 33 works created from 1973 to 2009.
