User:SusanUX/Fuzuki Arai

Fuzuki Arai, a Japanese painter influenced by Shugendo.

As a child, He had an unexplained leg illness and spent his days drawing. Miraculously, his legs healed as he continued to draw, leading to his interest in Shugendo. This Japanese religion combines Buddhism and Shinto, characterized by ascetic training in nature to learn truths for righteous living.

Blowing the conch horn in Shugendo dispels desires and wards off evil spirits. Its sound harmonized with his surroundings and evoked images of light.

All his paintings are inspired by the conch horn sound, and their titles reflect the truths he discovered. Through his art, he aim to connect with the souls of viewers. ​ ​
