My father loves Japanese painting. He teaches me the pleasure of painting and I loved to scribble when I was a child. I am a self-taught artist, and have never studied in formal art school. I studied law in university and started oil painting by myself at that time. I had my solo exhibition when I was 24. Since then, I held more than 30 solo-exhibitions at Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Chiba and New York. At the age of 29, I stayed in England about 1 year as a volunteer for people with disabilities. I was attracted by the beautiful European landscape. Since then, I changed my style of painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr style='font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", \"Fira Sans\", Ubuntu, Oxygen, \"Oxygen Sans\", Cantarell, \"Droid Sans\", \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\", \"Lucida Grande\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'\u003e\u003cspan style='border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: inherit; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", \"Fira Sans\", Ubuntu, Oxygen, \"Oxygen Sans\", Cantarell, \"Droid Sans\", \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\", \"Lucida Grande\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);'\u003eIn my artworks, did you recognize there are elderly people, people with wheelchair and woman pushing a baby carriage? I am working in an organization which supporting the people with disabilities. I would like to express the Utopia could contains different kinds people living together in peace.
