Handicrafts
This is a self portrait painted by crayon.
This copperplate etching drawing a woodpecker was a school-exersize, but it is hung on the wall of living room in Japan because of its "fine workmanship". He has shown a talent of drawings and handicrafts from his age of kindergarden.
This hand made of paper-clay is also a school-exersize, but his parents give him an admiration because of its reality. It is another example of his talent and is put in the living room in Japan too.
