Working in photography and mixed media, KOSHO has shown his series "Organic Inorganic" since 1990, guided by constant trial and error and a wish to keep adding new drawers to his expression. He has also taken part in exhibitions in Japan and abroad, including the Japan-Korea Contemporary Art Exchange and ARTEX PARIS.

Organic Inorganic (photography, mixed media, inkjet prints, etc.)
⬤ Message
In making my work, I never lose the drive to improve my expression.
I keep experimenting, again and again.
I try things that may seem pointless.
I want to hold as many drawers of my own as I can.
Propaganda is a no.
