'The world is beautiful to the eyes of one with a beautiful mind.
The world is kind to the one with a kind heart.
One who can create fascinating things has free spirit.
One who is diligent is the one who humbly take to heart their ignorance.
The world looks the way your heart is.
Look into your heart, the world could be a beautiful, kind, fascinating place.'
This is what felt from a rough but beautiful piece of sculpture work by Yasutake Funakoshi (1912 - 2002).
Funakoshi was one of the famous Japanese sculptor, and created many sculptures of beautiful young women- fair, gentle-eyed, reverent. In 1987, he suffered from cerebral stroke and his right side of the body was paralyzed. Funakoshi, however, did not give up his creative activity, and with his left hand he continued to create until his twilight years.
Compared to the sculptures of his ripe years, the works after his stroke are coarse and rough, but we can clearly feel more intensified energy from them.
His innocence, sincerity can be seen in his works. His heart is reflected in his works.
One's heart creates the world.
