Before 1985, I had sent my work to competitions and exhibitions that were held in Japan,
Since 1986,I stoped to send my work to Japanese exhibition. And then started to send my work to foreign competetions.
It is very exciting because sometimes I can go to abroad.
I have been to USA, Canada, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Korea etc.
Especially I have been to Spain many times, because I like to play flamenco & classical guitar.
My painting style are realism, cubism and impressionizum, some times abstract.

I do various kind of print too. (I have a printing press) |
