Cosmic Rhythm | Painting | Kota | Oneness Art<\/a><\/p>\n

The wood grain is not created by humans, but by the Earth.<\/p>\n

In a broader sense, I believe it is the rhythm of the cosmos.<\/p>\n

By painting in accordance with (and respecting) that rhythm, I aimed to express the oneness of the cosmos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

...<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on the assumption that the wood grain visualizes the rhythm of the cosmos, I respect the grain, and create the artwork by following the grain, developing the painting from it. By borrowing the power of nature and following the flow of nature, I express it. I believe this is a form of dialogue with nature, and an act of aligning with the rhythm of the cosmos Through this, I express and establish a cosmic sense of unity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

After a long, long journey.<\/p>\n

Now, it gently wraps around me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Story\uff1aWhereabouts<\/h3>\n
\n\t

 <\/p>\n

The wind and the caribou (reindeer) have always freely traveled across this world since ancient times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once, through a connection, I had the opportunity to stay with a local family in Alaska for an extended period.<\/p>\n

During that time, I encountered a herd of wild caribou.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the midst of minus 20-degree temperatures, with the fierce cold wind blowing, they were either running about or standing motionless.<\/p>\n

Their breath, exhaled from their noses, froze the moment it hit the air, sparkling and shining.<\/p>\n

I felt a strong vitality from their presence and was deeply moved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I recall that scene now, far away in Japan.<\/p>\n

I believe that the wind that wrapped around and stroked those caribou has likely traveled a long, long journey to reach us here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I think about it amidst the busyness of daily life, I am enveloped in a strange feeling.<\/p>\n

This world is vast beyond measure.<\/p>\n

Yet, the truth remains that everything is always connected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And, conversely, the wind that enveloped us might still be traveling toward the caribou living in the far north.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where is the wind traveling from and to?<\/p>\n

Where are those caribou traveling from and to?<\/p>\n

The outcome of their journey is unknown to anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
