Mountain trekking with an old Japanese man
In 2012, an old Japanese man asked me if I wanted to go hiking. I eagerly said yes. First he took me to the top of Mt Ryozen. It was my first time climbing that mountain. I really enjoyed it.
Watercolor sketch of rocks on a mountain
I painted this picture a long time ago. I think around 2005 but that is just a rough guess. I had climbed up a mountain called Kuju in Oita prefecture and it had inspired me to do a painting of a mountain scene.
