Gold Rush" may remind many people of Eikichi Yazawa's album for their generation. Of course, this "GOLD RUSH" was inspired by the discovery of gold in California, U.S.A. in the mid-19th century. The album was inspired by the discovery of gold in California in the mid-19th century. Charles Chaplin's film "The Golden Age" was also a humorous depiction of this event. The film "The Golden Age" is a humorous depiction of this time. People from all walks of life dreamed of escaping poverty and making a fortune. They rushed to California, hoping to make a fortune. They rushed to California to get rich, but it was not that easy. They can't even eat until they dig for gold. They could not even eat until they found the gold. They lead a miserable life. In the movie "The Golden Age," he is so hungry that he even boils and eats his own leather shoes to survive the hunger. Gold can be said to drive people crazy and make them dream fleeting but boundless dreams. Some experts have suggested that it would be better to return to the gold standard even in the modern age of capitalism.

It may be said that Hideyoshi, who had a golden tea house built to demonstrate his authority, wealth, and prestige, was ruled by the color of gold. He was ruled by the color of gold. Come to think of it, there was a time when Japan was called Zipangu, the land of gold. There was a time when alchemy was seriously believed in all over the world, including ancient Greece, Islam, India, China, and Europe. Alchemy is a black magic. Alchemy was represented by a three-step color system: black (room temperature material), red (heated material), and yellow (gold and precious metals). The yellow is gold. This yellow is namely gold, which represents the increase in temperature of a substance in terms of color. The highest level. The yellow (gold) comes at the highest level. Gold was the last material created in the universe, except for platinum. As I was applying the foil to the support, which had been prepared with black paint mixed with volcanic ash, I was thinking about gold. As I was applying the foil to the support, which had been primed with black paint mixed with volcanic ash, many thoughts crossed my mind. In fact, its brilliance is beautiful, simply beautiful. It is a color that instinctively makes one feel its universal and permanent value to the extent that it drives people crazy.

GOLD RUSH Gold Rush II" is the second installment of his first solo exhibition held at Gallery AKI in Kamakura in June 2017.
