Why painting?​

​

There are several events that come to mind when I think about my original experience of art. In 1987, when I was 10 years old, I already liked painting, and sometimes my father took me to the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo and I did some sketching on the campus of my local university. What was particularly shocking was when I was taken to the Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance. Museum and saw the "Sunflower" that was auctioned off. It made a strong impression on me. After that, I borrowed Van Gogh's biography at school and read it, and the strong contrast between the gorgeous atmosphere of the exhibition hall and the artist's tragic life made it an even more unforgettable experience. Since then, I have come to like various genres of art other than Impressionist painting, but perhaps because of this original experience, I have continued to have a strong interest in painting.
