I want to praise myself.
Not someone else, but myself.
Good job for being born into this world.
Good job for overcoming a harsh childhood.
Good job for overcoming the insidious bullying of adolescence.
Good job for overcoming the melancholy and loneliness I experienced to the fullest after moving to Tokyo.
Good job for my clumsy life.
I suddenly looked back, and there was a single road.
Looking ahead again, there was another single road.
Yes, I am on a single road.
This planet is crowded with countless invisible roads.
On each road lies a single life.
Thinking about that, my heart somehow warmed.
My heart was moved.
Tears welled up.
A smile spread across my face.

Artist Profile

  • IAN KOJIMA

    Japanese Artist [IAN KOJIMA] An ordinary young man moves to Tokyo after graduating from university. He begins his life in Tokyo searching for himself. In the midst of his hectic life in Tokyo, he suddenly wanders around India. There he decides that "travel is life!" and to live life to the fullest. After returning to Japan, the young man is looking for a new job when he receives a job offer from a publishing company where he knows someone. It is a publishing company where venture people gather. Inspired by the spicy people around him, the young man sets out on a journey to sing and play all over Japan. He sets off on July 4, 2000, the day of the Declaration of Independence in the United States, and finishes his wandering journey of a year and a half visiting every prefecture on December 31, 2001. During this time, he has wild experiences surviving mainly by hitchhiking, sleeping rough, and singing and playing on the street. This experience awakened his latent creative spirit, but due to the effects of survival life on the streets, it took him many years to return to society. During that time, he continued to create small amounts of art (music, painting, etc.) Steadily and steadily... Before he knew it, he had created over 300 works. Eventually, the young man found a credo. "ART raises the emotional temperature by 1 degree" Art amplifies the intensity of emotions. Making a dull world interesting. IAN KOJIMA's creative activities continue to this day.
