Exhibition Information
When I was visiting my parents in Japan, we went for a walk together. It was a sunny autumn afternoon, the day after a very heavy rainy day in November. When my mother saw lots of Japanese Maple leaves fallen on the water of the ground, she said admirably, “How beautiful these red fallen leaves on a puddle are! I would make a painting of this stunning red leaves (if I were an artist)!”. I was touched by her pure-mind like a little girl who cherishes an impressive color and image from nature. At that moment, I decided to make THE painting she was talking about. My sweet memory of one sunny day in November.
