Humans have expressed the fundamental feelings of sadness, happiness and despair through the physical action of art making.
In the 10,000 year history of the fine arts, human creativity has produced a variety of things which cannot be expressed linguistically.
It's as though a creature comes out from the depths of the human being who cannot explain things through language.
The creature is usually repressed by society, but when the social system becomes weak, the primitive things will appear.
The primitive things are the impetus for the work of Mizuki Kakinuma.
Additionally, Japan does not have Western individualism or monotheism and is a pantheistic society which has been coexisting with nature for a long time.
A poetic sentiment obtained from this connection with nature can be seen expressed in the strokes of Kakinuma's works.
