Being the top-liner in Japan since the 1960s of a technique that can cast a human figure exactly as it is, he expresses the frozen moment. He uses polyester resin to create highly wrought shapes in his endeavor to seek realism and humor. Something plausible which cannot exist, or something improbable that may actually be existent --this is a world of illusion that he produces. The thing standing with its hands together is an amusing prairie dog and the shedding of a cicada suggests materially and in concrete form the birth of a new life.
