Since my mid-thirties I started to hang out sketching and taking pictures of beautiful trees and flowers all over Japan.

I found that a beautiful subject is not always suitable for painting. On the contrary, thought to be not much of a material sometimes turns out to be a perfect one.

Also, how wonderful it may be, some enables me from even sketching due to its location. Among thousands of trees and flowers, what I drew is only a handful and just one side of them.
