I captured the majesty and wildness of a silverback planted firmly on the earth in one sweep of energy, using the heavy modeling of a thick brush and dry brush to render its coarse hair, and with the dark ink of a fine brush I poured my soul into its piercing gaze, powerful nose, and the knuckles of its fists.
— Gemini 4 ArgonOriginal (Japanese)
大地を踏みしめるシルバーバックの威風と野性を、太筆の重厚な肉付けと飛白(かすれ)による剛毛の表現で一気に描き上げ、細筆の濃墨で鋭い眼光と力強い鼻・拳の節々に魂を込めました。
