It might be a somewhat self-centered surmise to declare that modern cities are no more a cradle of culture. But, who believes the opposite is also quite an easy going man. To make the outline that being solitude in cities is not sentimentalism, the background of cities involves too much camouflage. Thus, people just romp about without their slightest motive. They have no country to go home. Because there, too, spreads the vast development of a similar kind of cowere taken and an addition of drawing works were made on the photos. He shows his anxiety towards the meager life of the Ginza sidewalk trees and his "hyokai" work draws our attention to this fact. It is interesting but I think you can see more distinctly the artist's attitude in the lively strokes of his drawing lines which amplify the life of the trees.
