Looking Obliquely

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
