The title is "Cycle of Life". The idea of rebirth is depicted in this painting. When a person dies, he/she returns the borrowed body to God. The soul departs from the body, being embraced by God until it borrows a new body and is born into this world. 題名は「命のサイクル」。人は死の時に借り物の身体を神に返し、魂は身体から離れ、神に抱えられ、のちに新しい身体を借りてこの世に生まれてきます。生まれ変わりの思想を絵にしてみました。
This is the holiday season, the time when children living afar return to their parental homes. The title of the painting is "Welcome home". 年末年始の時期、子供達が親元に帰ります。お里帰りの楽しみを絵にしてみました。題名は「ようこそおかえり」
The title is "Three-legged race". The image is based on the idea of husband and wife in Tenrikyo religion. The center pond area shows a scene of creation of mankind. White snake is the prototype of woman, and fish is that of man. タイトルは「二人三脚」です。私の信仰における夫婦の姿を絵にしてみました。真ん中の池の部分は人間創造の1シーンを表現しています。白蛇は女性、魚は男性の原型です。
In the world, there are so much divide among people. We need to begin doing things together. How about jumping rope to begin with? 世の中には人々の間に多くの分断が生じつつあります。一緒にすることをもっと行うことが必要です。まずは、縄跳びからでも、、。
This year nears the ending. It is the time to exchange gifts. I made this painting as a gift for those who cared the less-able people. Each care-giver receive a star as a gift. Care-givers are not celebrity but are indeed stars. 今年も終わりに近ずいてきました。贈り物の季節です。この絵は、介護をする人々への贈り物です。介護人はセレブではありませんが、スターに値します。
The painting is about cleaning plates, eating everything on the plate. Nature provides us with all kind of food. A good way to show gratitude is to clean the plate, eat everything on the plate.
