Paintings I worked on for the earthquake relief

It took me a while to post these up..
自然／人をテーマにした作品です。

The appreciation of nature is a prevailing theme we see in Japanese culture.  From Shintoism to the obvious adoration of the sun in the national flag, we have throughout history strived to achieve an "oneness" with the elements.  Even in the face of natural disaster, we are not a people that posts haste in condemning the elements, but instead strive to understand them, to coexist with them, and are left in awe of its wonders, destructive as they may sometimes be.  Let us in these times of crisis adore the beauty it can also bring.
