If you need to have something special to be an artist, he certainly is one. Ten years spent in the woods searching for himself through contact with nature. From there the inspiration, feeling the power of creativity and the ability to turn his imagining into emotions. WA is the name of all his works, a Japanese term used to denote that which represents harmony, serenity, moderation.

Will these perhaps be the goals from his research? A pleasant but rough person, solitary but affectionate, his friendships he carefully sought out, and so did those who would preserve his works in the collections that would be handed down. His works are his children, loved by him like his dogs. And that is why they can never be anyone’s. At least not first-hand. Iron and concrete: strength and toughness, just as he is.
