(From a commemorative Speech for exhibition "Sakano ueno kumo" Messages of 1000 people , Ehime newspaper 311)

I was eager to find my own special way of expression of Calligraphy for more than 20 years...
Unfortunately I lost my ability to draw with my right hand from a brain hemorrhage.Since then,for six years,the desire "I want to do Calligraphy again"  become stronger day by day, I draw a line with my left hand every day.

I have given my second life and finally I finished my art work.
I was so happy.

For those who would like to try Calligraphy together, and for my own self,
I would like to continue my work.
