Phoenix

Suzaku Ranbu

Price: $93.750

The world of art is filled with many genres, forms, and techniques, but despite the differences in expression, the pursuit of one thing leads to one answer: peace.

The work “Suzaku Ranbu” was born from this desire to unite this still-fragmented world into “ONE TABLE” through the power of art.

This unique sumi-e painting, created using a unique technique of drawing without a brush, using only ink and hand, captures a worldview that is subtly dynamic, as the artist pours his soul into his fingertips, capturing time and expressing the utmost dynamism as it moves through the work.

The work also reflects the desire to “live this moment to the fullest,” evoking a sense of hope for life. Life is fleeting, but it is precisely because we live it to the fullest that it finds its beauty.

Suzaku Ranbu continues to fly eternally within the painting, embodying a “symbol of eternity” and a “desire for peace”…

May that power be poured into those who view it, flow out into the world, and help build a world without barriers… with dreams and hope.

Jiz

Price: $59.375

It is a soulful sumi-e art that does not use a brush. When it comes to art, there shouldn’t be any barriers in the heart.

Ziz is a large Jewish bird. It is said to be a gigantic three-headed monster along with Leviathan and Behemoth that appear in the Old Testament (Book of Job), but Ziz itself does not appear in the Old Testament.

Leviathan symbolizes the sea, Behemoth the land, and Ziz the sky. It is a gigantic bird whose head reaches up to a point when it stands on the ground, and when it spreads its wings it covers even the sun.

SHU Arakawa’s sumi-e works also include the image of a phoenix, a symbol of peace.

Thirty-six views of Mt. Fuji “Okihaura, Kanagawa Prefecture” Scene from 100 years ago

Price:$34.375

It is a soulful sumi-e art that does not use a brush. When it comes to art, there shouldn’t be any barriers in the heart.

SHU Arakawa’s sumi-e works include several tsunami works, including the Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji.

One is a modern sumi-e version. Mt. Fuji is a landscape where the natural environment has deteriorated, the sea level has risen, and Mt. Fuji cannot be seen.

This work was created imagining a time when the environment was not yet destroyed.
Comparing both as a pair gives a sense of time.
In this work, the sea monster Leviathan is depicted in the spray of a tsunami.

The dragon rages and ravages the sea. By introducing Jewish monsters into Japanese art, he aims to integrate Japan and the West.
This also incorporates the concept and idea that “art is without race, religion, or borders.”

Size: B2 (728mmX515mm)


一叶帰來Yiye-Guilai~一陽来復~

Collaboration with calligrapher Sayumi Matsubara

What is the right timing to make a decision?
If you miss that timing, you’ll never get another chance.
The right timing, the right time to leap, the right time to bounce—it’s all about the balance of timing.

There’s a right timing for everything.
And that right timing is when you take action and
judge…
The whole process changes after that.

Probably most people don’t even get to the point of action…
Probably.

PDCA…
Plan, Do, Check, Act
Where are you now? Are you doing it?
PDCA is the same concept as a telephone call.

This is the Prancing Horse piece that embodies that sentiment.
