Shinto is the Japanese r eligion. T he famous novelist Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, who lived in Japan, pointed out the characteristics of Shinto. Shinto, unlike Christianity, has no contractual relationship between a god and a person, and has no substance of a religious mechanism. It’s like a phantom. I am a painter, not a sculptor. I want to draw a picture freely in all directions in the air. The painter is always conscious of the screen of the painting and cuts it out with a framework to recognize the space. Abstract painting uses lines to cut the screen. As such, I understand how painting works. Rather than seeing an object as three-dimensional, it is transformed in the brain as two-dimensional.
