comment

Immediately after being born in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, he moved several times, and the first time was in Shinjuku.
After that, when I faced my future in college, it was very close to Shinjuku.
When I decided to work on painting after doing a few jobs.
The neighborhood where my life’s work journey began was Shinjuku.
I am very much looking forward to seeing paintings near the trip of people staying at the hotel.
In this painting, people gather at an atmospheric bar and talk about their lives with art and music, and a musician who appears by chance is actually playing the greenery of Shinjuku Gyoen! I imagined that.
I hope that the journey from tomorrow will bring beautiful scenery and excitement that I have never seen before.
