Series Statement - The Thirteen

This is a special and highly limited series.

There are thirteen Kurukuruatama in total, and I have made a decision that, in my lifetime, I will create only thirteen paintings that feature all of them. No more will ever be produced.

Each work in this series represents a complete expression of these thirteen beings - making every piece both independent and part of a greater whole.

The series begins with The Greatest Supper, and will conclude with The Last Supper as its thirteenth and final work.

To preserve the uniqueness of this series, each painting is offered to only one collector per country, allowing the works to be dispersed across the world.

As of now, five works have been created, and four of them have already been acquired.

The final work, The Last Supper, has already been reserved at a price of over JPY 100 million.

One of the works has already been placed in Malaysia, and therefore, I am unable to accept further offers from collectors based in Malaysia.

This series is not only a collection of works, but a once-in-a-lifetime body of creation.
