Kirie is the "magic" that enriches my life!!!
?I began to teach myself the art of kirie while employed as an engineer at one of Japan's giant construction companies and have continued into my retirement years. For nearly forty years I have journeyed to countries around the world and throughout the islands of Japan, returning home to create kirie portraying attractive places and scenes I encountered during my travels. I have completed more than 160 kirie works. Kirie has been the center of my life and has magically enriched my whole life. And even now, whenever I gaze at one of my works, I vividly recall the excitement I felt when I encountered the scene just as if it were yesterday.
?Among the many varied delights that I owe to kirie, as I frequently mention in this book, my greatest joy has been creating this collection by selecting my favorite works from among all those I have completed. I am more excited than ever to release this book as the first collection of my works to be shared with the world.
?I have included 93 works in this book. Their subjects include 18 from Southern and Eastern Europe, 26 from Western and Northern Europe, 10 from North America, 9 from Oceania and Asia, and 30 from Japan. I have added a brief comment on each work enabling my readers to savor the beauty and atmosphere of various countries and regions of the world at the same time as they experience the charm of kirie.
?I hope that book will give you hints to ways you too can discover "magic" that will enrich your life!!!
