Haiga collaboration

I am inviting Japanese hajins to collaborate with me in making haiga or photo haiku. They submit their favorite haiku and I make an image for it. For Jp folks, I make English translation. Also I sign the haiga, frame and mail it. All for a fee of 10,000 yen. I can do the same for the non-Jp speaking haijin living overseas for a fee of $120 (Jp translation, frame & postage included). Email me if you are interested.

Gold


Coins

Once in a long while, I do painting like this, just to enjoy the feel of non-digital procedures. This is very small, 15cmx15cm, and was done several years ago.

Formation

A friend in Hawaii sent me a pic of a wall sculpture by Satoru Abe. It has small circle at the center, signifying the sun. Because it is placed a little off center the negative space created thereby shows the shape of crescent moon. So, this piece shows both the sun and the moon, which to me is a symbol of the creator of not only the islands but also all of the world.

Giclee prints

Some of my haiga are on sale at a Japanese E-commerce site.
The haiga is printed in giclee, which uses 12 inks to print.
