Reason for Award

This work makes one feel possibilities. Not only creator’s personal possi- bilities, but also possibilities where a various ideas will be realized in near future when it is predicted visual matters lead all genres. It may be possible to realize two directions: one is visualizing one’s imagination and the other is visual reconstruction of all the history with modern sophisticated technology. For example, scrupulous repro-duction of “THE BATTLE OF SEKIGA- HARA” based on historical evidence. This work opens a door to this direction.
