From childhood,He could not be so-called ‘normal’.He sometimes doesn’t understand ‘common sense’ and couldn’t behave as ‘normal’. As a result, he seemed to be left behind by the ‘com-mon world’. But he was fascinated by charms of mundane things. Bananas, flowers and vegeta-bles were glittering in sunlight. And he recorded it in photographs, using Quicksnap at that ti-me.
His artist life began with photography.
He had resistance towards the atmosphere of immediately deeming something as “worthless, useless” simply because it differed from the so-caled conventional notion of “value.”
And he also experienced distress when he couldn’t understand or accomplish
things that are commonly expected or considered “normal” by others, with the
assumption of “You should know/able to do this, right?” He believed that even in the face of being dismissed by such conventional wisdom, there must be worth and precious charm in things that are considered “unique.” His assertion is “Everything is precious and beautiful.” He was influenced by photographers such as Edward Weston, Robert Mapplethorpe, and George Dureau. They abolished the conventional way of viewing things and found charms in “unique (and often perceived as negative)” subjects through their own perspectives. They expressed that charm in a way that everyone could see and understand. Tsutenkaku Boys found the path he should folow. Even in things that are labeled with negative terms such as “weaknesses” or “flaws,” if you change your perspective , they can exhibit charms that you have never noticed before. Even shortc mings can become strengths. He wants to convey that message.
