Twenty years ago or so I faced the torment of missing the direction of painting, hopelessly at an impasse with no way out. It was at that time of despair when I encountered Maitreya bodhisattva* at Koryuji Temple in Kyoto. Standing in front of the statue emitting gentle lights with dignity beyond time and space, I received “something” that I could not find appropriate words for. Since then, it has been all I hope my painting will communicate : “something” that directly reaches you. I am and will be on the way to looking for that “something”. |

* The statue of Maitreya bodhisattva is registered as National Treasure of Japan. In Buddhism tradition, bodhisattva is said to come down to this world to bring salvation 5billion 670million years after Buddha’s death. |
