I study Japanese paintings from the Edo period and other periods, as well as contemporary Japanese subcultures, to produce paintings that rethink Japanese culture and history. In the "Gunzo" series, my attempts to re-edit Japanese culture by appropriating Japanese painting techniques such as "Rakuchu Rakugai Zu Byobu" and mashing up holograms with lamé, mashing up Japanese painting with today's hobby culture such as card games and stickers, and so on. One of the themes of "Gunzo" series is life, which incorporates the shape of a spiral. On the other hand, the spiral is accompanied by the image of inheritance and continuity, such as DNA and the survival of the species. This image is superimposed on my cultural heritage activities of redefining, reinterpreting, and reproducing Japanese art by merging it with contemporary culture.
