Yuma's Statement

I am a Japanese multi-media artist living in New York City for 53 years. In 2008, I became an American citizen.

My work is an environmental warning, a call to us all to recognize the importance of earth and its elements.

My recent works are called "Crystal Vision and Love" and

"Drop of Water"

I had a most powerful dream which took me to an underwater crystal a castle, Since the dream,

I have been painting mysterious crystal and pure energy of water.

Through my creations, I remind people of the unity and beauty of the world. Many of my pieces are based in ancient Japanese rope culture, called Jomon. I have created many rope works influenced by that culture. The universe is a most amazing being with much to teach us. Those lessens inspire my creation. I will continue to create until the last day of my life.
