My inspiration for creating art came from the “Worshipping Bodhisattvas on Clouds” in the Phoenix Hall at Byodo-in Temple.
Each bodhisattva holds various instruments while dancing, expressing the music that flows from the heavens creating a world of paradise where there is only joy without suffering.
Using ordinary people and iconic characters as the motif I am able to capture a person’s comedic movements and form along with a sense of excellence. It expresses the belief that “anyone can be a god at any moment” and a world where anyone is accepted and redeemed, a sort of paradise that conveys hope within the karma of humans.
