The art which grows together with plants.
	For ten years, I have hold workshops from time to time to teach how to appreciate nature through the workshops. Attendees learned about the importance of environment while playing in natural surroundings using branches and leaves, stones and the ground. By looking back the workshops, I clearly see the goal I should pursue from now on. Standing in natural settings to listen to birds singing and feel cool breeze gently passing on my cheeks, I can sense the breath of trees. However, I have to say what most fascinates me is plants in woods that change their shapes and colors from one season to another. When I hold up a leaf to the sun, I was stunned by the beauty of its vein and its shape. And I intuitively realized that no other forms of art can transend the beauty of nature. Then, in 2001, I determined to become a plant artist and started to make gardens where human beings can communicate with nature. Based on Japanese culture that was matured in the Edo period, I am going to present garden culture and would like to establish "Japanism of 21st century" that fits in modern life style and environment.
	NIWAZARE
	I have looked for a new style of gardens that fits in a modern housing environment, while studying Japanese garden culture that was fostered based on Japanese traditions. And I have finally developed "NIWAZARE," my own art form. My goal is to introduce an ancient Japanese esprit and a modern Japanese sense of beauty to the West through NIWAZARE. Japanese culture was first introduced to the world at Expo in Paris held more than 100 years ago, and culturati around the world were just fascinated by Japanese original arts. And now, I would like to produce Neo-Japanism art form through NIWAZARE, the new garden culture.
