Musica Nova / May issue has been released. The cover picture this time is ” Tamayura “. The meaning of Tamayura is a small sound made by the balls touching each other. What is Tamayura for you? Tamayura for me was the sound of a kingfisher jumping into the water.
The April issue of Musica Nova has been released! But unfortunately it’s a little grayish compared to the original painting. I look forward to it next time!
This is the original. The color is slightly darker.

The March issue of “Musica Nova” published by Ongaku no Tomosha has been released. The cover picture this time is “Chord”. The designer made it nice again.
The February issue of Musica Nova has been released. (20th January) The cover of this time is “The Second Lyric Poetry”. The image song is Palmgren’s powder snow.
It’s been late, but Happy new year I hope this year brings you happiness!
By the way, I am in charge of the cover image of the music magazine “Musica Nova”. “Magazine for learning, teaching and enjoying the piano” Musica Nova was first published in 1970. How wonderful it is to be able to decorate the cover of such a famous historical magazine!
I’d like to decorate all the covers with new works, but the schedule is quite difficult, so I will announce it with existing works and new works. Of course, new work is first show, so please look forward to it.
The January issue has already been sold at musical instrument stores nationwide. I would appreciate it if you could take it if you have the opportunity.
We held an exhibition named Three Cows at the end of August. An emergency declaration was issued for COVID-19, and I was worried if it could be held, but it was able to be held safely. The exhibition was very well received and was blessed with over 430 visitors. Fortunately, some of my works left for our customers. Thanks to my friends, I was able to reproduce the exhibition in 3D. Please see it. <Link> I’m making a new work now. It’s hard because I have to finish making it by Christmas. But I really enjoy making it. I’m a little busy now because I have a new name order, but I would like to increase the number of works steadily. I want to do a solo exhibition in Germany somehow! I will do my best! !!
Shortly after I finished pasting, I started to work on the details, but there was something I didn’t like. It’s quite difficult, but I decided to fix it. As a result, it worked, but I was very nervous. Because if I make a mistake, I could start all over again.
The changed part is here. First of all, carefully peel off the parts I don’t like. At this point, the result is highly dependent. Lightly paste the cut parts on the new paper to be pasted. Next, cut it freehand along the shape. Draw on my past experience but it is so tough. Because I can rely only thickness a piece of paper. If it shifts even a hair width, it’s over. Paste the cut parts together. This parts has glue so I can’t fail. It’s done!
I’ve finally finished pasting colors on all screens. I’m about to start putting colored paper on the details. The whole process changes depending on which part you start the fine detail work, so I’m quite worried.
The process leading up to here
First of all, paste the face and horn’s part. After that, this time I will stick colored paper from the neck part. I layer the colors little by little while looking at the overall balance. I’ve finished pasting this far and can finally take a break. After this, paste new papers to the face and horn.
