Inspired by the "mountain wisteria" seen at the foot of Tsubakuro-dake in the Northern Alps, and the "summit of Tsubakuro-dake" as viewed from the North Tsubakuro direction, I painted a pair of ''soaring ptarmigan (raichō)'' — the legendary alpine birds of the Japanese mountains. At the same time, by layering those same forms together, the composition also takes shape as ''the head of an enormous dragon.'' The landscape of granite, white sand, and dwarf pine (haimatsu) is one I deeply love — and yet it also carries a strange, aching familiarity, like somewhere I have always known. A memory from a past life? I cannot say for certain, but I took the scenery from my recurring dreams and my own imagination and placed them side by side, left and right, across the canvas.

About Limited Editions
This is a Limited Edition produced in only 100 pieces worldwide. Each piece carries a unique edition number, with authenticity proven both digitally and physically.

Each print carries a unique NFC tag. Its tamper-evident structure breaks if removed, so it cannot be transferred to another work.

Artwork details, edition number, and ownership history are recorded on the blockchain, preserving provenance and ownership over the long term.

A certificate bearing the artist's signature is included. Along with the print itself, it leaves you with proof of authentic ownership.
Unlike traditional proof that relies on a handwritten signature alone, linking a physical NFC tag with a digital certification record delivers tamper-proof, far more reliable proof of authenticity.
Authenticity is certified using "Startrail," a blockchain certification platform operated by Startbahn, Inc.
