Author's comment

I heard the words of a Yamabushi, ``Mountains are the source and mother body of life.''
I believe that mountains are the starting point for creating many things.

Judge's review

The energy he gets from the overwhelming mountain range is directly converted into creative power. It's very simple, but I was struck by it. There are a lot of works that are rough around the edges, but that's okay. That will change as you work through the numbers. More than that, I resonate with his attitude of trying to convey the emotions he has received to others through his works. I want you to work on it carefully. (Naoki Sato)
