Hana

Mitsuo Katsui

The motif of this work is a Chinese character “ 華 (Hana)”.The world of the Chinese character “ 華” has the meaning of light, the shine, and coloring. I exaggerated and expressed that gorgeous meaning of the world of the Chinese character “ 華” by scattering a feature element of the Chinese character “ 華” in the imagination space. And a color of the backgrounds of this poster is an empty color of the beginning.
