Dignity
He designed a "Dignity" by photography. Those objects are pine and plum trees that have seen everywhere in Japan and lived for over 100 years. Those have been expressed in "Sumi-e" and ink painting, folding screen painting from ancient times. After he took photos, he adjusted exposure and configured those in the white square. From his works, the viewer can imagine the background and feel the existence as "Dignity". Therefore it can be said that his design attempt is to eliminate boundaries of Painting and Photography.
