Title: Dream of Billow
A fusuma painting created by the artist during a two-week stay at Ryukyu Villa Bilow.
I painted the landscape of the Bilow tree visible from the inside on the fusuma of the bedroom.
The Bilow tree has been cherished as a sacred tree in the Ryukyu Islands since ancient times, and is a place of spiritual worship.
Commonly seen on Mt. Ontake. It has been regarded as a sacred plant since ancient times on the mainland.
Even today, during the Daijosai ceremony of the Imperial Court, the Emperor performs purification in the building called 'Hyakushichō'.
is used as roofing material.
Artist (Painter): Konirow
Born in Kyoto. Influenced by the fusuma paintings of Kyoto temples that I saw closely during my childhood, I started painting. I mainly engage in mural production based on street art culture. I have participated in numerous projects, including live painting, mural production, and exhibitions, traveling across Japan, Asia, Europe, America, and the Caribbean.
