                   Oil Paining　 １５F　65.2×53.0cm    Lakhan
A wood beside the pond of Azamikubo-numa in the Musashi-Kyuryo Government Owned Forest Park where a path of Ancient Kamakura Road goes through. It was extroadinary hot in the summer of 2001 with the temperature renewing the past hottest record of the previous year. In the previous year of 2000, the hottest record of the temperature since its recording had started in Kumagaya had been renewed, but that was renewed again only one year after in 2001, and yet, day by day. I drew this picture on such a day in mid July when the record of the hottest temperature was renewed by 39.6℃ at Hatoyama-Town ,not so far from this park. The sun beams streaming through the leaves of the trees looked like burning the spotted ground to smoke with fire. Even mosquitoes looked like harbouring behind the leaves or under vegitations to avoid the sunbeam. I painted this picture for 4～5 hours including the noon but without seeing any other persons.
