Flowers will bloomーHana wa saku-



[Flowers will bloom] is one of charity songs as march 11th 2011 in Japan.
Singers have gerber flowers in their hands.
Shinji Iwai who writes this song's words,comments
"Gerber flowers are very beautiful and
arrive on the market in all year round."
And  in the language of flowers the gerber flower means
hope and advance.
I bought gerber flowers from Ishinomaki city Miyagi prefectuer
in March on this year.
And I've painted these flowers on Kawamata silks.


 
 

↓ This work will be exhibited  at charity exhibitionon
17th-21th Octorber in Kyoto.

Apple ,Cherry,Apricot and Forsythia ーSt.Barbara's Day ー

I've painted apple fruits , flowers and squirrel on Kawamata silk which is dyed Rosemary's leafs and  branchs.
It's connected St'Barbara's Day.
So, I will paint cherry,apricot and Forsthia flowers untill November.
Why?
Because I have plan for display inside of a restaurant.
The name of "Montecatini" is a Italian restaurant at Yokohama city
in Japan.

"Montecatini" is a city name in Italia.
A patron saint is St'Barbara.
I wish painting for her tradition.

Going to Mt. mitake for skech wild flower "Renge Sho-ma"

2days ago, I went to Mt.mitake at Oume city, for sketching wild flower,
the name of "Renge Sho-ma".
It's very lovely and pretty.

The part of flower looks like small lotus flower,
so"Renge" means "louts"in Japan.
"shoma" means ,the leaf looks like different kind of plant's leaf.

I sketched about all day in this mountain's forest.

 

If you live in Tokyo or Kanagawa prefecture ,
You can go to Mt,Mitake  taking 1 day.

Introduse of blog's title

My blogs title "The grace of filds and the wish of Forest",
I've thought these words from Kenji Miyazawa 's storeies.
I knew his storeies when I was small child, and I've loved his poems when
I was junior high school student.

I think ,He didn't make distinctions all kind of animals ,
plants and human beings.



 
I've  begun to paint by sumi ink the world of his storeies on
natural dying kawamata silk.
