My goal

I used to say that I would create my works as long as my body was able to do so.


Since I met a painter who had difficulty holding a brush, my goal has been changed.


He shifted his creativity from painting to paper art, Origami.


His courage has given me a new goal. I will create art as long as my ingenuity lasts.
