板にアクリル、日本画材、ラピスラズリ

個人蔵
Private collection

It is said that the ancient blue of lapis lazuli makes people happy from bottom of their heart. Run, the painted horse, with the holy healing light of lapis lazuli.

This wood is cut out from a huge Japanese cedar which broke 800 years old wooden pagoda in Nara booked as The National Treasure when it was fallen by a typhoon in years ago.

助かるはずの人たちが死に、死ぬ必要のなかった人たちが死んだ。
ラピスラズリの青は、原石を手に持っているだけで幸せな心持ちになる色だという。その瑠璃光を纏って駈けて行きなさい、絵の馬。

台風で倒れた際に室生寺の国宝仏塔をえぐった杉板に描いています。
