Japanese abstract painting 【First Sunrise Dance】

Japanese abstract painting 【First Sunrise Dance】

In this land called the Land of the Rising Sun, an ancient custom endures.

It is a traditional ritual to offer thanks to the sun rising on New Year’s Day and pray for a bountiful harvest.

This custom has continued unbroken, perhaps because a belief in the sun is deeply rooted in people’s subconscious.
Naturally, people revere nature and worship it as a god.

As if responding to this faith, the sun danced with joy, choosing a small stone covered in paint as its dance partner. That is the story behind the birth of this painting.

About the Artist Izumi Tokita
I have a son and a daughter. Instead of crying out, my son desperately tried to open his drooping eyes wide. He was trying to see his father’s face one last time. And quietly, the light of his life faded away. What saved me at the lowest point of my life was color, a language that needs no words. As I picked up the brush and faced countless paintings, a flash of light shot behind my eyelids. As if driven by something, I switched from pen to brush. It felt as though I was carrying on what my son had wanted to accomplish in this world.
Two years later, I founded Studio Sense. Now, raising a daughter who looks just like my son, I continue creating works brimming with “life.” Works that nourish the soul, just as painting saved me.
