(Message and profile) Kohjigen Art: A world of shining love and beauty. A spiritual fusion of East and West. A glimpse of energy stretching back to the very heart of the universe. Love, wisdom, growth, prosperity, infinity, hope, truth, good, beauty… holy light. My task is the search for the evolution of knowledge and the harmony of beauty as expounded by the Buddha, and I strive daily to hone my skills and improve my soul that I might be more capable of fashioning the art of pure truth. The art of truth expresses the truth and contributes to the evolution of the soul, the improvement of the personality, the development of society, and the attainment of prosperity. In sending as much of this shining art as I can out into the world, I hope also to awaken in others a love for humanity, creating peace and well being in the world so that growing happiness in individual households might expand outward to form a worldwide utopia. My art is my wish for the 21st century, from Japan to the world. 1950 Born to Awaji-shima Hyogo-ken Japan. 1972 Kyoto Shimbun advertising prize (Client/Matsushita Electric) Gold Prize, others 1977 Dentsu advertising prize (Client/Matsushita Electric) Advertising Dentsu prize, others 1984 The Suntory advertising illustration "Penguin Series", other work 1987 Asahi Shimbun advertising prize (Client/Isetan) Section prize 1990 The Isetan "SHINGAI" poster, other work The PARCO (Christmas big present) poster, other work 1993 Japanese trade advertising newspaper section series(Client/Fuji Xerox), Part I The first seat 1994 Japanese trade advertising newspaper section series, Part I The first seat 1998 International art exchange exhibition Kyoto '98 Prize for an excellent work International art Grand Prix Spain round exhibition The Association "L'Aigle de Nice" 10th anniversary international exhibition Diet member Award Japanese seiko fine-arts association member "France and Japan" International goodwill exhibition Gold Award 1999 International art exchange exhibition China consulate general Award International art grand-prix France exhibition '99 The 2nd place of mayor Award International selection best artist exhibition Best artist Award (the highest award) France national Chagall art museum association member The 11th Aigle de Nice international Gold Prize (the highest award) South France Picasso Museum association member Japanese seiko fine-arts association exhibition Education Minister's Award Belgium international present age art academy Gold Award (the highest award) 2000 The international writer prize exhibition which will bear the 21st century International writer Award International art exchange exhibition France national Chagall art museum Award (the highest Award) Japanese seiko fine-arts association exhibition All Japan la Gazette des beaux arts Co.
