Macro Phantom Series
A series of small-scale works born from quiet contemplation and refined technique, Macro Phantom explores unseen presences—beings at the edge of perception, between the sacred and the subconscious. Each piece is painted using layered techniques rooted in traditional methods, including casein tempera, oil, and acrylic, and is framed in a handmade black box. These intimate works invite the viewer into a private, suspended moment where the boundaries of myth, vision, and emotion dissolve.
Beneath the surface of the visible world lies a hidden wellspring — elusive, but brimming with untamed force.
A lone witch kneels beside it, drawing from the depths a surge of energy not meant to be seen, only felt.
This work captures the quiet moment where unseen forces flow into flesh and intention — where control yields to current.
Invisible Well -不可視の泉
Acrylic, Casein Tempera, Oil on Hardboard 6"x10"(15cm x 25cm) 2007
This work depicts Daidarabotchi, the legendary giant from Japanese folklore said to have shaped the mountains and lakes of the land.
Rather than a terrifying demon, the figure is rendered with ambiguity — a presence both ancient and surreal, merging with the atmospheric textures that suggest shifting landscapes and unseen forces.
Rendered using layered traditional techniques — acrylic, casein tempera, and oil on hardboard — the work draws the viewer into a quiet mythic realm, where the divine and the monstrous coexist.
Oni - Japanese folklore demon
Acrylic, Casein Tempera, Oil on Hardboard 6"x10"(15cm x 25cm) 2007
From the depths of a forgotten ocean, a Sea God rises—limbs elongated like kelp, gaze unreadable, entangled in luminous tentacles. He is not of myth nor nightmare, but of the vastness itself—formless, watchful, eternal.
Created with layered traditional techniques—acrylic, casein tempera, and oil—the surface evokes the flickering distortion of the underwater world. This figure is neither savior nor destroyer, but an embodiment of the unknowable forces that shape the sea—and perhaps, the self.
