5. Please tell us about your worldview in order to understand your work. And what methodology do you use to express it in your art?
Some Japanese believe in an ancient philosophy called Animism (Yaoyorozu), which basically states that everyday objects have their own life stories.
I use "Oogiri" as a means to generate ideas to express this.
"Oogiri" is a traditional Japanese comedy game.
Regarding a certain theme or motif,
It's entertainment that allows you to improvise and come up with interesting ideas.
I personally do this training as a hobby.
While shopping or walking
I'm thinking of interesting ideas in everyday situations.

6. How can stop video express the depth and complexity of physical emotions?
Stop motion allows you to create animations that are between reality and fantasy.
The important thing is not to get too fantastical.
It means expressing what is actually happening in the form of images.
By doing so, viewers can watch this stop motion his animation and relate it to their own everyday life.
I think viewers will be able to feel the philosophy hidden in the work through their own imaginations.

When a great artist, curator, or collector adds my work to their collection, I feel recognized and very happy.

It's a difficult problem.
At this point, everyone may have no choice but to be careful not to open suspicious links.

Now, anyone can use AI to create works of art that look beautiful.
I think it is important to create works that have a human touch and incorporate the artist's unique ideas and emotions.
