A few years ago, I came across Zentangle. It is a type of art created by American artists. I was very attracted to it from the first time I saw it.
However, I felt that Zentangle alone would not satisfy me.
I felt that I wanted to include human faces and bodies in my work.
I have incorporated Zentangle motifs into the background of this illustration.
To be honest, Zentangle is not very well known in Japan. There are a few books on the subject, but they are constantly going out of print, and secondhand copies are now circulating. I think that the people who teach it probably can’t make a living from it.
The Japanese in this picture means the following.
”When you feel like you’re being overwhelmed by anxiety, step away from TV and social media and go for a barefoot walk on the ground.”
There is so much information on the internet now that it can be overwhelming.
I feel it’s necessary to get back to myself.
