I am researching the expression of playing fish in Japanese paintings.I am particularly interested in the idea of ``ecological painting'' as one of its modern developments, and how it can be seen as an extension of traditional painting themes.I am taking up my pen in the hope that I will reconsider this idea, which was planted by my predecessors, and which was buried under the rapid changes of the times, and continue to challenge myself as an artist in the modern era.
