山城

作家のことば

かつてこの地を駆けた荒武者達の咆哮が聞こえた。
この春、豊臣秀長の夢の跡、近年は天空の城として有名な「竹田城」を訪ねた。関が原で西軍に属し敗戦後廃城となって、今は野面積みの石垣だけがそびえ立つ。
「赤」は生命の色、血の色でもある。歴史を噛みしめて、心に響く作品を描きたいと思った。

I seemed to hear the roaring of fierce warriors who once galloped across this land[cite: 2].
This spring, I visited Takeda Castle—the trace of Toyotomi Hidenaga's dreams, famous in recent years as a "castle in the sky"[cite: 2]. Belonging to the Western Army at Sekigahara, it was abandoned after their defeat; today, only dry stone walls tower above[cite: 2].
"Red" is the color of life, and also of blood[cite: 2]. Savoring history, I wished to paint a work that resonates deeply in the heart[cite: 2].
