(comment) This work is an original drawing by Yoshiharu Tsuge , a manga artist who in later years built a unique worldview with his surreal works themed around "dreams" and travelogues set in quaint hot spring inns. There are no Setting drawing standards, realistic theories, or logic: only the true spirit of Yoshiharu Tsuge is depicted, struggling to exist. Even the image on the back is an extremely stripped-down image of Buddha, but it is imbued with ingenuity to get even closer to Tsuge's inner landscape. The empty house has walls. In this painting, which faces the road without any facade, we can glimpse the tradition of Japanese fantasy painting. At this time, Tsuge was not like the ancient Japanese painters who stood at the entrance to the realm of souls that Osamu Tezuka and Shigeru faced, nor like Chagall who expressed fantastical narratives, nor like Klee who said, "Art is about making the invisible visible." Rather, a faint longing for another land, standing in the dilapidated houses of the fields of Shimoishihara, Futa, and Nishichofu, was attempting to make contact with another world through Yoshiharu Tsuge's subconscious.
