� Writer's statement ∥
The dire situation in Ukraine is reported every day, but today's situation is by no means a single person in a country 10,000 kilometers away from Japan. It's a big problem that we have to deal with as our own.
Now, when I think of the people who are suffering in this war, I can't stay still.
I have been engaged in creative activities such as calligraphy, pottery, painting, and lacquer, but I strongly believe that what I can do now is at least to paint as an artist and draw works with a wish for peace. I did. We will exhibit oil paintings such as "Hyakuki Barbaric-My Gerniker", which was moved by the situation in Ukraine, and also exhibited and sold works such as paintings and books that we have drawn so far, or put them in a donation box. We would like to receive donations and support the proceeds through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
We sincerely hope that as many people as possible will support us.
