From the Artist:                 

"As I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, my approach to watercolor painting reflects eastern influences, which emphasize the simplicity, spontaneity and executed with economy of brush strokes.   

It is of high importance to me to eliminate unnecessary details of the subject matter to render it with a simple, but strong message.  By concentrating on big shapes and solid tonal value pattern, I can let loose and allow the watercolor take its own course.  That is when the true quality of watercolor will be most evident.  As with poetry, less is more."
