— Over 1,000 years ago at Mount Koya, Japan, a monk named Kobo Daishi discovered the healing powers of the legendary Enmei herbs that have the effect of rejuvenating the skin. I performed a large floor piece of calligraphy inspired by Mount Koya and created 6 canvas arts: “Harmony”, “Zen”, “Flow”, “Cherry Blossom”, “Harmony, Respect, Purity, Tranquility”, and “Moon” to be put on display and another 150 pieces to serve as giveaways for the guests.

The meaning of Utsuroi is best translated as “transition” in the spirit of the changing seasons, here expressed in such works as Golden Rain (2015), Late Snow Fall (2015) and Flower Field (2015).
