Looking Obliquely

About

In this work, I visited a religious scholar, Shinichi Nakazawa, with the question, "What does 'gazing' mean to people? At the time, he was interested in Japanese ethnic religious beliefs by going to winter festivals, etc., and thought that a view of life as a series of rebirths was cultivated on the basis of a life based on farming. Here, I believe that "looking" provides an opportunity for the mind to be reborn. Created in 1983. The artist was 48 years old. (Suzuki Shiroyasu).
