From Ryu Kadosaka:
All of my works are made up with lines.
I use tools with pointed tips like pencils, round pens, Japanese
brushes and burins.
When working, I empty my mind trying to avoid any interpretation
about the object that sits in front of me.
"To draw the object as it presents itself" is my ideal.
