幼少の頃より７年間、美術教室と書道教室に通う。美術の展覧会で作品の購入希望者が現れる。13歳で一度美術から離れる。
50代で入院し病室で絵画を再び描き始める。きっかけは全身麻酔を使った手術を受け不思議な世界を見たこと。この世とあの世に境界線があり、能楽でいう橋がかり（舞台上にある楽屋から檜舞台に繋がる長い橋）に似ていて、西洋ならシェークスピアのグローブ座にある舞台と天を繋ぐ天窓のような情景だった。
この経験で死と生とその境目は昔から芸術作品の題材だったことに気づく。また、自分や家族、友達、全ての人が幸せになることを強く願うようになる。
病院の入院棟で描いていると医師達や患者達が私の絵を見て感動した。涙ぐむ人もいた。私の絵を見て元気になる人達がいることに気づき再び描き始める。
私たちはなぜ生きているのか。現在でも科学では生命や宇宙の神秘を解明できない。 さらに、2000年前のソクラテスの言う死の意味や魂のケアに関する問いに人類はまだ答えていない。
数学では到達しえない真理。アートを通しその質問に答えられるのではないかと思い描き続ける。
As an Artist, when I was child, I attend art and Japanese calligraphy class for 7 years. Someone who wanted to buy my painting at the art class’s exhibition.I quit painting when I was 13years old.Because I want to see a wider world.
I have started to play Kyogen (similar to traditional Japanese Noh Theatre) since 2000. The master is Manzo Nomura Ⅸ and his father is a national treasure.
Later,I became ill and was in the hospital. At that time,I have restarted to paint at hospital. Because I had mysterious experience when I had general anesthesia.
When I had surgery,I saw a bridge. It is built between this world and other world. It seems like Shakespeare’s Globe theatre's skylight. There is a small skylight over the stage. It mean is connecting with the theatre and universe. It is the same as in Japan. Japanese have Noh theatres. There is a bridge. It connects this world and other world. And then, I realized that art was inspired by death and aliveness. In addition, the experience changed me. I turn my thought to me, family and other people’ happiness strongly.
When I was painting at the hospital, doctors and patients saw my paintings and were moved by them. Through this experience, I felt that I could cheer up people by my painting.So I started painting again.
Why we are alive? Incidentally, even now, science cannot explain that life and the universe. Furthermore,human have not answered Socrates’s questions about death's meaning and care of the soul for 2000years. I am thinking that art will answer him. I am always thinking about it and I could get closer to the answer by painting my art.
Note:My anesthesia experience was release by Near- Death Experience Research Foundation in America. It was read by over 30,000 people.
