Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with acute leukemia and was told I had only two months to live.
After 10 months of hospitalization and a bone marrow transplant, he returned to work.
In March of this year, cancer was found in his esophagus.
He continues to work while undergoing treatment.
At this time, he is very conscious of "the beginning and the end" of things.
And for his exhibition in September, he is making a new attempt this time.
He painted a picture of "the beginning and the end" first, and then nurtured the story afterwards,
The exhibition will be held at the exhibition hall.
The "Beginning and End" paintings will be exhibited at the exhibition.
Two books created from the drawings will also be exhibited.
