                  big to me. I may be overly obsessive. (laughs). To me, meeting people
                  isn't the easy thing to do. I like it though, but I find it difficult to become
                  the other person's heart to maintain the relationship.  The process of
                  creating work is relatively easy, since getting the empathy from the
                  relationship is very hard. The relationship is nothing short of intuitive,
                  but to express that person in my work is so clearly defined that I enjoy
                  this process. I am glad to be able to bring all the people I have met
                  through my work during my time in the studio alone. However, on the
                  other hand, it is sad because it is only so within the workshop. Actually,
                  not so.
                  I understand that your work sizes in your previous exhibitions are
                  up to 2 meters maximum. What made you increase the size up
                  to 3 meters for the works in your exhibition  <The Landscape of
                  Others>?
                  While my previous work clearly depicted the main character the main
                  focus of episodes, in contrary, you could think that my current work
                  is rather flat. You may consider It is merely a landscape. However, the
                  scenery has a variety of narrative elements. I intended to make my work
                  that would make people pay more attention to find the details and
                  think why the artist expressed these details. So, at this time, I showed
                  a bigger size of work. The details that were hidden in the work are not
                  visible from the small size image, such as the ones on the web or in the
                  catalog, actually appear one by one in the exhibition space. 3 meters
                  work was created with the intent of not showing much unless you
