Retreat

Recently, I have to keep a distance from people because of the coronavirus from China. Originally, I was in a hikikomori state, so it's not much different than before.


This photo is one of my portraits taken by photographer Mr. Hashida last year. Why does the painter paint his self-portrait? I don't even see my face myself, so I would like to take this opportunity to look back on myself.



How am I living and where am I going? I don't really like staying in one place. It doesn't mean that it's geographical, it's about doing the same thing all the time. Some people keep doing the same thing all the time, but I'm not happy with that.


Lyall Watson's my favorite book is "Neophilia". It seems to mean "I like new things". The lion is calm and standing firmly in one place, but the tiger seems to be constantly moving around looking for something new. Humans and both of these apply, but I'm clearly a tiger.


Ten years ago, I decided to quit my job in advertising graphic design. I felt that the world of graphic design was very closed and the field of view was getting narrower. In the second half of my life, I want to broaden my horizons and study things other than my specialty.


Having said that, there is no ability to completely change the genre, so I think we will expand the genre a little from design. What I want to do from now on is to make a video of the fusion of art, fashion and music.


I don't want to die without knowing anything about the essence of life. It may be safe to keep doing the same thing all the time, but then I will regret it at the end of my life. There are risks in trying new things, but new challenges cannot be accomplished without taking risks.
