Wake up TOKIO! Let’s go and play.

TOKIO, same age cousin of painter who passed away at five years old.
At that time, Painter Toshiaki who did not know the meaning of　death, spoke to dead TOKIO as
“What are you doing?
Wake up!
Wake up!
Let’s go and play”

His talking induced tearing of watcher of TOKIO’s deathbed.

TOKIO is living forever in Painter who did not have a feeling of cousin’s death.
When painter was being stuck or doing mike, he said himself as
“I am something different from all the others,
I have to live not only for me but also for TOKIO”
He encouraged himself, and developed a zest for living.

TOKIO is something very special for him in that way.

(Art technique)
This is a work of NPB, New Painting in Bathroom, drawn on the bathroom tiled wall of Hotel in Iran by oil pastel and applied by Japanese black, green and red ink, and erased soon, because color will absorb into tile joint with time, so there is no original drawing, that’s why this is “Fragile Art”
