This is my original artwork.
"Inheritance"
Mixed media,38x45.5cm,2025

My paintings are my own, so they do not need to be handed down, but there are many traditional crafts in my area, for example. I think they must be handed down, including their techniques.

There is a person I am acquainted with who makes wood carvings of Buddhist statues. He originally studied Western-style painting at an art college. I think this is a bold change of career, but at any rate, there is a shortage of labor and successors in the world of traditional crafts today. Although I did not have the qualifications to enter the world of traditional crafts, I would like those who can do so to carry on the beauty of old things.

これは私が創った作品です。
「継承」
ミクストメディア、38x45.5cm、2025

私の絵は私だけのものだから、継承されなくてもいいのだが、例えば私の住む地では伝統工芸品がたくさんある。それらは技術も含め継承されなければならないと思う。

私が面識のある人で、木彫で仏像を作っている人がいる。もとは美大で洋画を学んでいたそうだ。思い切った転身だと思うが、とにかく今の伝統工芸の世界は人手不足、後継者不足である。私は伝統工芸の世界に入るだけの資質がなかったが、できる人には古いものの美しさを継承してほしいとは思う。
