I bought this from a young foreign man who visited my part-time job 25-27 years ago. "I am an international student studying art. I sell my work to pay for ink." I remember him showing me a card with those words written on it. At the time, I was in my teens, working a part-time job for 800 yen an hour and living alone. My clothes were tattered and I was very poor, but I wanted to support him, so I bought this painting. It was 4,500 yen for two. I kept it in a box at my parents' house, never taking it out of the bag, hoping, "I hope he's become famous," and cherishing it. I still remember him explaining in broken Japanese, "After scratching the aluminum foil, I add color with ink." My boss at the time made fun of me, but it's still a precious memory. By the way, my boss passed away a long time ago. Did he get his comeuppance for making fun of someone else's dream? And soon after I got this painting, my life changed dramatically. I went from being poor, earning 800 yen an hour and 140,000 yen a month, to no longer having money troubles. Looking back now, this painting was a lucky charm. Since I got this painting, opportunities and crises have come and gone repeatedly in a short period of time. But, strangely, I was always able to overcome the crises. The boring, poor, and miserable days changed completely into exciting, glamorous, and fun ones. It was like I went to a different world. I didn't like myself in the past, but since I got this painting, I've been able to gradually start liking myself. I want those who "want to try something new, want to break free from their current situation" to pick up this painting. Thank you for reading my clumsy writing to the end. May your life be filled with good fortune and be wonderful. The other painting is here. #RMemories of the Cat Painting We offer a discount if you purchase both paintings at the same time.
