I am from Shizuoka Prefecture.
Since my childhood
I grew up in an environment where I could see Mount Fuji every day.
So for me, Mount Fuji is
Rather than being seen as a special place to visit
It has always been a sight that was close to home.
When I started making resin art works,
I had always wanted to make a film featuring Mount Fuji as the main character.
On Mount Fuji
Just looking at it makes me feel better.
I am feeling a strange power.
But...
Mount Fuji alone wasn’t enough.
What I want to convey through my work is
Because it’s not just a feeling of “being beautiful.”
When I saw the work
Feeling a little better
I feel more positive about things
To the person who receives it
That you might hope for something good to happen
I wanted to create a lucky piece of work.
So that's what I combined with: Torii gate.
Mount Fuji and Torii Gate
In my mind
Both are landscapes that evoke a sense of Japan.
He is someone who inspires strength.
If we put these two together into one view,
It seemed like it would be a work that wasn't just beautiful.
I also added fireworks there.
This view
It is not an exact reproduction of the actual location.
Scenery I would like to see
Memorable sights
Combine such a scenery
We are creating it as one world.
This is it
Resin art works by Yuko Asai
It is also the origin of the "ZEKKEI RESIN®" product.
Even in a landscape that isn't real
Sometimes your heart gets moved the moment you see it.
From that small view
If it can deliver energy and strength as well
I was thinking about that while
I created this work.
