Message
from Artist
I
am so hoppy to have an opportunity
to exhibit my paintings together with
Noh-masks carved by Kozen Hanyu, my
father. A Noh-mask to be put on by
Site (a hero of Noh Theater ) who
lives in the spiritual world is supposed
to present the world of soul which
has been expressed by Japanese through
Noh Theater. I feel Noh-masks have
some deep connection with my paintings
in which I try to express invisible
world of heart or soul. I hope guests
will sense, through our exhibition,
the beauty of Japanese culture or
a kind of profound spirituality.
