～Japanese retro vases and flowers～

Forword In the 1960s and 1970s, during Japan's period of rapid economic growth, every household would have a colorful and uniquely shaped glass vase. Nowadays, it is no longer seen today. However, when I look at it again now, I feel the joy and power of a bright and positive era in the design. Flowers and vases. Indeed, the motif may be common, but incorporating this uniqueness into my paintings, I hope to evoke a freshness and new perspective in the viewer.
