I am a modern artist living in Sapporo-shi Hokkaido Japan. I wanted to be an modern artist from college student days and mastered modern art by self-education.
When I drew a picture work and saved it,I did a business activity to become a painter under contract to the commercial art gallery in Ginza and Kyobashi Tokyo.
As a result, my work is appreciated by the owner of the contemporary art gallery on behalf of Japan. For a long time, I drew a picture with a soft pastel and colored pencil on paper.
I discovered an existing common scientific law between music and pictures by a longtime study. This epoch‐making discovery is the first time in the world I applied myself to the study of popular music. As a result I succeeded in expressing rhythm, melody, musical scale, dominant note by a picture.
