私の作品について
山で育てる木を人間が木材で使うには30年かかると言います。隣の木と激しい生存競争の中に成長を続ける間、光が当たらず成長が遅れると人間は容赦なく間伐します。その木の命はそこで終わります。最近は、間伐した木を何とか利用しようとする努力が見られますが、大半は土に戻ることが多いでしょう。私は、その生を尽くせなかった木に、新しい姿の命を吹き込んであげることはできないだろうかと思うのです。それが私の作品です。
“枝ごとに伐られ、別れ、
安否消息も知れず
剥ぎ取られた体に水気もなく
この世のどこかに息をひそめていたその木々は、
一つ二つ集まり、巨木をなった。
少しの間、喜びの打ち解け話しを交わす、君の姿は美しく壮大だ。

Comment of my work
People said that it takes for 30 years,for using as lumber the tree which man cultlvated in the mountain. While keeping in the next tree and the intense struggle forexistence when trees are sunless and are in growth-less,human beings cut for thinning out it merciless. The life of that tree is over at that point. Those days,the efforts which tyr to use the reduced wood are barely seen. However,most will return to the sail in many cases, I believe whether I could that as new from may infuse life into the wood which was not able to fulfill that lifetime.That is my work.
“It is cut as every branch and separated as parts.
Safety and informaition do also not know.
To a body stripped off without moisture.
It gathored with those trees that had hidden the breath.
One or two in somewhere in this world. and became a huge tree respectively gradually.
A little while, your figure which exchanges a talk of the joy in a familar way is
beautifully magnificent.”
