Nervous and Happiness

I finished making the ordered work and showed it to the customer, she was so pleased. Unlike the work I make freely, I get very nervous when I show the finished product of a custom-made work. But I am happy when they are satisfied with the finished product.

Exhibition contract

Starting with this exhibition, I have decided to create a contract with strict content. In the previous exhibition, I was saddened by the fact that I was unable to use nails, and many of my works fell and were damaged. Artists like me who are still in a weak position must firmly protect their own rights and the protection of their artworks by contract.

der Weg

Meine künstlerische Karriere nahm eine große Wende, nachdem ich nach Deutschland kam. (Obwohl ich immer noch eine kleine Künstlerin bin, der nur kleine Ergebnisse hervorbringen kann. Ich möchte meine Kunstkarriere wieder in Gang bringen und finanziell stabilisieren.) Aber ich denke, mein künstlerischer Weg wäre in einer Sackgasse gelandet, wenn ich in Japan geblieben wäre. Ich bin dankbar für dieses Schicksal.

Satisfaction

Latest artwork is finally almost finished. I always find the 70% stage the most difficult. Because it’s the most half-done stage, the picture doesn’t look beautiful, and I can’t imagine it being finished. But when it gets closer to completion and the picture looks beautiful, I feel very happy:)

Anyways

I hope I can become an influential artist so that the beauty of Japanese painting can be conveyed to many people. I don’t know I can do that, but I’ll try 🤔

Kyoto

Kyoto is a wonderful place that I enjoy no matter how many times I visit. The art supply store in Kyoto is concerned that Japanese painting is at risk of disappearing because fewer and fewer people are using Japanese paintings materials. They said they will cooperate with my activities to spread Japanese painting materials in Europe in the future! I’m leaving for Germany tomorrow night 🙂

Summer vacation

8月に短期間、日本に帰ります。久しぶりに家族、親戚、友人達と会えるのが楽しみです!それからもう一度”Priso break”が見たいです😊

I will go to Japan in August . I’m really looking forward to seeing my family, relatives and friends! I wanna watch “Prison break” again there:)

The Goal

I have clarified the goal of my activities to promote Japanese painting. I have written about it on the following website. Crowdfunding is still ongoing.

私が行なっている日本画の普及活動の目標を明確化しました。以下のサイトにそれを書いています。クラウドファンディングは引き続き実施中です。
