In the garden with goats

About the productJapanese

11 years after "Maboroshiki Peephole," we once again enter a bewitching world.

A collection of essays and works that trace the origins of his creations. Memories from his childhood are now revealed. Through his overwhelmingly detailed and sensual works of beautiful boys and girls, and essays written for his web serialization, he approaches the source of his fascinating works.

Ten years have passed since he moved to the valley in Yamanouchi, Kamakura, to escape the harsh sunlight of the seaside, and he continues to paint in a fantasy world as if escaping from society. As he becomes absorbed in the act of painting, his consciousness gradually drifts away from the content of the painting, and he travels to distant memories, where he begins to collect and enjoy chasing fragmentary images. Little by little, he transforms these images into words, anchoring them together, and creates a garden of trivial words. The pace of gardening is shockingly slow, and from the start it exuded the atmosphere of an abandoned garden, but like the goat garden, will anyone ever visit?
