• Musashi Miyamoto’s (1554-1645) “Gorin no Sho”, The Book of Five Rings, is a text on swordsmanship and martial arts. It is widely known among martial artists. However, it is little known that he painted Sumi-e paintings in a unique style.
  In our upcoming workshop, we will copy Musashi’s paintings such as “Shrike perched in a Dead tree”, and “Boddhidharma”, and learn about the energy he poured into his paintings.

Artist’s Words:
In East Asia, we have always been familiar with the dragons from ancient times. It has been told that they live in the Dragon’s Palace and fly around the sky. They have been worshipped as a Dragon God or Dragon King that brings rain. Dragons are the only mythical animals in the Chinese zodiac, and they are a symbol of power, strength and good luck. It was not easy capturing the dragons in this painting. However, I used the gradation technique of Sumi-E (Japanese Ink painting). The pearl, which the dragon holds, is filled with hopes, dreams, and good fortune. I hope you enjoy the Twin dragons’ magnificent spirits and humorous expressions.

I painted the Twin Dragons hoping that they will give you mystical power for your following wishes:
[fancy_list style=”arrow_list”]

• When you have a strong will and wish to start something new.
• When you become true to yourself and try to challenge something.
• When you wish for courage when making a brave, but difficult decision.
• When you become responsible for an important duty.
• When you feel there is an opportunity approaching from afar.

『双龍図』作者の言葉:
龍は東洋では古代から私たちの生活の中に住み親しまれてきました。龍宮に住むと伝えられ、あるときは天空を駆け巡り、雲を起こし、雨を呼ぶ龍神や龍王として崇められてきました。十二支の中では唯一の空想上の動物で、縁起の良いしるしとも言われています。絵という静止した画面にとらえるのは容易ではありませんでしたが、墨の濃淡を生かした水墨画（墨絵）の様式で描きました。龍の持っている玉は希望と夢がいっぱい詰まった幸運の玉です。雄大な気勢とちょっぴりユーモラスな表情を画面から感じていただけたら嬉しいです。

[fancy_list style=”arrow_list”]

• 意志を強く持って新しい事をスタートするとき。
• 気持ちを素直に出してやってみたかった事にトライするとき。
• あと一歩の勇気ある行動力と潔い決断力が欲しいとき
• 大切な役目が回って来たと感じるとき。
• 遠方からチャンスがやってくる暗示を感じるとき。

[/fancy_list]

こんな時には、よりいっそうのパワーが欲しいものです。この絵の双龍があなたに素敵なパワーを授けてくれますように願いを込めて描きました。
