“Because of that moment, I am here now.” Ever since I acquired this artwork, I have felt this truth more deeply than ever.

For those who wish to walk the path of a true life, I encourage you to hold it in your hands.

When I saw the paintings in person, my impression of “Oh, I like this!” was the same, and I couldn’t help but be captivated. That impulse I felt at the time is still a mystery to me. Even now, it remains my absolute favorite.

The spring-like creatures depicted in the painting bring a cheerful feeling whenever I look at it. At home, it is displayed in the living room. It always radiates a gentle, loving gaze.

From the moment I encountered this piece at the exhibition, it felt inexplicably dear to me and stayed in my thoughts.

Being able to bring Kota’s work into my life has given me a little confidence. Because he is such an admirable and wonderful artist. It makes me really happy to think that I’m somehow sharing even a little bit of Kota’s “gentle, embracing energy.”

“When standing at various crossroads in life, it won’t be words from others, but a landscape you once saw that will encourage you, and give you courage.”

When I saw the finished painting, I felt a warm and immense sense of comfort that enveloped me completely. It was so fulfilling that tears welled up in my eyes, and I was overcome with gratitude.
