This is a work created in 1953, printed as a calendar in a limited edition of 350 copies.


If you feel lonely, drink sake. May the Tengu of Mount Hiko appear.
Perhaps he felt a sense of affinity with the Tengu, who sought out solitude and yet felt lonely and deep sadness as he lived in seclusion in the mountains.

自ら求めて孤独になりながら、やはり寂しいという,深い悲しみを抱きながら山に隠棲している天狗に親近感を覚えたのかも知れない。

これは1963年に作成された作品を、後に限定350枚カレンダーとして印刷されたものです。
